Cycling & Mountain Biking
The steep slopes that characterise much of the TMNP make it ideal for mountain biking enthusiasts. However, because this activity is very high impact and negatively affects the biodiversity of the Park and often clashes with the more sedate activities such as hiking and dog walking, there are designated areas where mountain biking is allowed.
Popular areas are certain parts of the Tokai Plantation and Silvermine (accessible from Gate One).
You can cycle on the tar roads in Table Mountain National Park in Cape Point, Silvermine, Tokai and up to Rhodes Memorial.

Please see the Recreational Road Cycling and Mountain Biking Environmental Management Plan for more information.
An annual My Activity Permit Level 3 is required to cycle anywhere in Table Mountain National Park where cycling is allowed.
