The wind slices along the Atlantic Seaboard as the trike hums past V&A Waterfront, Sea Point and Camps Bay — salt spray and sun on your face, road curving like a ribbon along the cliff. Photo stops punctuate the ride: Llandudno’s rocky cove below, the tight ribbon of Chapman’s Peak if it’s open, and the vast horizon at Cape Point where the ocean seems to push you back.
