The Cape Cycle Tour is one of the most popular cycling events in South Africa, drawing cyclists from all over the world to Cape Town for a challenging and exhilarating race. But for some participants, the race is about more than just personal achievement – it’s about making a difference in the lives of others.
BackaBuddy, a South African crowdfunding platform, provides a platform for cyclists to make a difference by connecting them with charities and individuals in need. Many individuals have signed up to cycle for a charity or someone in need, using the Cape Town Cycle Tour as a platform to raise awareness and funds for various causes.

- Raising Hope South Africa: David: Cycling for Change
