•   Lower Long Street, between Walter Sisulu Avenue and Wharf Street
•   Cullinan Street, between Walter Sisulu Avenue and Wharf Street

The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust, organisers of the cycle tour, have appealed to all residents in Green Point not to park along the Main Road. They should use alternative side roads or designated parking areas.

And here’s an explanation for the photo above:
At least 100 officials from the City of Cape Town will participate in the Cape Town Cycle Tour on Sunday, 8 March 2015. It will be easy to recognise these riders on the road as they will be participating in MyCiTi cycling shirts. The City of Cape Town has established a cycling network comprising of 450 km of cycle lanes across the city and during the past five financial years, has spent approximately R300 million to create a city that is universally accessible and promotes walking and cycling.
