Hout Bay
Cycling Club
The Hout Bay Cycling Club was founded by a group of veteran cyclists who wanted to provide Hout Bay youngsters with an opportunity to
experience the world of cycling while offering a healthy alternative to the negative influences found within their communities.
By participating in our cycling programme the riders learn important life skills such as teamwork, discipline, dedication, and
determination. In addition, the boys receive counselling about career and life choices.
