Map of main centers: the biggest cities in South Africa, with our 50+150kms radii around each one
Just for you. And me. And our delivery team. So you can plan your boxed bicycle collection and delivery points. Because main centers are more cost effective than outlying areas. Why? Because there are more people, and traffic, and our vehicles have to travel there anyway. Whereas with a remote location it can be that your bicycle is the only one to be delivered from the CPT depot all the way to the Namibian border. Hence a vastly different price structure. And we like to keep this simple at bicycle couriers. And share it with you. Because of transparency. Now you can see what happens behind the scenes.
