Come this Sunday, 9 March, the Cape Town Cycle Tour will see the Mother City’s streets ‘overrun’ with over 30 000 cyclists taking part in the world’s largest timed cycle race.

And if you’re not one of them, fret not – there are still plenty of ways to catch all the action and spread some gees:

Here are 7 epic spectator spots to cheer on the cyclists:

1. Corner of Hertzog Boulevard and Adderley Street

There are few spots as epic as the starting line, where you get to witness the seemingly tangible build-up of anticipation and explosive energy as cyclists cram together, waiting for the signal before bursting onto the street when the starting time finally arrives.
