A local cycling development project in Kuils River recently received ten new bicycles from the Western Cape Mobility Department, helping more young people access the joy of cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former cycling champion and administrator William Newman of Highbury launched Aspire Cycling in November 2024 under the auspices of local civic organisation, the Highbury Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This non-profit community organisation is dedicated to empowering young people through cycling by providing them with skills, equipment, and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis donation is a celebration of the provincial government\u2019s commitment to sustainable, inclusive mobility. With every new rider, we foster not only a healthier community but also support our collective journey towards a greener future. It gives the youth an opportunity to experience the freedom and joy of cycling,\u201d said Newman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The donation was made possible through the department\u2019s Provincial Sustainable Transport Programme (PSTP) and was implemented on the ground by the Bicycling Empowerment Network (BEN) and the Pedal Power Association (PPA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSTP is focused on improving transport access, minimising environmental impact, and promoting active lifestyles. Through strategic partnerships with organisations like BEN and the PPA, the programme has successfully delivered innovative mobility solutions that benefit communities across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling advocacy organisation BEN has a proven track record of establishing bike distribution programmes, training local mechanics, and promoting cycling as a tool for social upliftment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PPA is one of South Africa\u2019s largest cycling organisations, promoting safe cycling, advocacy, and education. The association works to improve infrastructure, support events, and foster a community of cycling enthusiasts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new bicycles will be used in Aspire Cycling\u2019s weekly skills development sessions held at the parking area of the Metro East Education District\u2019s offices. The programme originally started at Excelsior Park in Highbury with five bicycles, also donated by the department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, with on average 20 youngsters per session, the children had to take turns to ride. To date, more than 25 weekly sessions have sparked the joy and excitement of cycling for many youngsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur approach includes equipping youngsters with essential cycling safety skills, providing safety gear, and introducing them to basic maintenance techniques.” <\/p>William Newman<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With these ten new bicycles, Aspire Cycling is poised to increase its impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newman said they will continue to engage with local communities, presenting cycling skills and development sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspire Cycling is also seeking support to secure a safe venue in the community to introduce the concept of grass track cycling. \u201cAll that is needed is a well-maintained field to gradually introduce the youngsters to racing,\u201d said Newman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a need for transport to move bicycles to surrounding schools and communities as part of a mobile community cycling outreach programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspire Cycling invites individuals, businesses, and organisations to support its mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
