Salt air pushes across the ridge as you roll away from the Cape Point Farm Stall, fat-tyre e-bike humming beneath you and the ocean daring you to look further. Low scrub and protea thickets slide past; a pair of ostriches blur on the shoulder of the road. In less than an hour you’ll be cycling viewpoints that once guided wooden hulls and modern ferries alike toward safer water.
