We tackle his two favourite topics, Governance & Cycling you can guess which one we spent more time on haha. It is refreshing to hear there is such a dynamic mind at the helm of the Western Cape Government and I'm really grateful we got the time to chat with you Alan - thanks for accommodating us! Personally I love the idea of a cycle bus rolling around town alongwith the Taxi bosses hitting the roads on two wheels, there is so much room for growing our and other sport/passions alongside and integrated with our beloved city, its on all of us to make it happen. #alanwinde #cycling #cyclingcommunity #westerncape #capetown #storytelling
