Either bring your own, or get one on arrival: you save the transport fee and hassle, but take more risk with an unknown bike. I get mine once landed in Cape Town. It\u2019s a second hand bike for ~100\u20ac seen on thehubsa.co.za. Getting it was a little scary: I take a cab from the airport to the place. The driver stops his car and put the \u201ctaxi sign\u201d from the roof inside, and tells me: \u201cyou don\u2019t want to get out there, it\u2019s not safe\u201d. He eventually let me get out quickly, bring out my bags, and soon disappear. I come into the seller house, and kind of locked in that property, they don\u2019t let me get even on the street: it\u2019s a gang area, the neighbors are drugs dealers! What the hell I am doing here?<br \/>\nThe family selling me the bike are not from there neither, a friend of them picks me up with the car 2\/3 hours later, and I eventually buy the bike, get some carrier on it for my panniers I brought from Germany. Few days after, I have however to replace the rear wheel since the original rim was very bad.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_667\" style=\"width: 932px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/files\/2015\/03\/P10904921.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/files\/2015\/03\/P10904921.jpg?resize=700%2C467\" alt=\"bicycle bought 2nd hand in Cape Town\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" class=\"size-full wp-image-667\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">bicycle bought 2nd hand in Cape Town<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling on bicycle: which bike?
