“I am an adventurer and I love the outdoors. “A lot of people are still not exposed to cycling and one of the challenges faced by those who are interested is the cost of the bicycle itself,” he said. A brand new mountain bike can cost tens of thousands of rands. “We prefer to ride off-road because there is no traffic and it seems to be much safer than sharing the road with vehicles,” said Ximba. The club has between 10 and 20 active members and meets every other weekend.
