GO!Durban
Promoting active lifestyles in Durban with safe and scenic walking and cycling routes for all.
The Cycling page highlights Durban’s commitment to fostering an active and sustainable lifestyle through well-designed walking and cycling routes. As part of the GO!Durban initiative, this program encourages residents and visitors to explore the city on foot or by bicycle, promoting health, reducing traffic congestion, and lowering carbon emissions. The city features a network of routes that span scenic coastal paths along the beachfront, urban trails through the CBD, and community pathways in areas like Umlazi and KwaMashu. These routes are maintained for safety, with signage, dedicated lanes, and regular patrols to ensure a pleasant experience. Walking routes cater to all ages and fitness levels, offering leisurely strolls or brisk walks, while cycling routes include options for beginners and experienced cyclists, with some linking to Cycle Academy training locations. As of 2025, Durban continues to expand its infrastructure, adding bike-sharing stations and pedestrian-friendly zones to enhance accessibility. Whether you’re commuting, exercising, or enjoying Durban’s natural beauty, the Cycling program provides a safe and eco-conscious way to move around, aligning with the city’s goal to be Africa’s most caring and liveable city by 2030.
