Cape Pioneer, Road Worlds & a Call for Safer Roads | The Breakaway EP35
Cyclists risk their lives every morning, and no political party has told us where it stands. This week on The Breakaway, we ask. Episode 35 starts with a simple question: why do one million South African cyclists have no voice? Jarryd Haley is back, and together we talk road safety, the muggings that are changing where we ride, and what happens when a community finally speaks up. Then the racing. Cape Pioneer on 32-inch wheels, the Lions Karoo to Coast in the mud, the Road to Desolation in Graaff-Reinet, and a schools league with over a thousand kids on the start line. We finish with the 2026 Road World Championships in Montréal: Demi Vollering’s win, Brandon McNulty’s solo ride, and Byron Munton holding his own among the best in the world. Plus the Hobo Thrash, a free group ride we are trialling, and our verdict on the Cannondale Scalpel.
