"I believe that the knowledge and experience gained from being a Trustee on CTCT Trust will enable me to add value to PPA. I particularly wish to focus on increasing brand value by focusing on building strong positive customer relationships and a unique brand identity by delivering consistent quality exceptional cyclist experiences. I also wish to focus on advocating for the safety of cyclists and helping PPA becoming the voice of cyclists to the right audience (government etc.) I believe this is critical to cycling success in the current environment with increased crime, attacks on cyclists, and accidents becoming increasingly frequent.

I have commuted to school and university for over 10 years, and I have a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing cycling.

Membership No: 29206
Nominated by Stephen Hayward
"I will continue to support PPA building on the advocacy work being done by PPA with a particular focus on the role that cycling can and should be playing as an extremely important part of transport for all our cities and towns. This because it should be an affordable, safe and convinient form of transport for everyone and our roads should be safe for anyone who wishes to cycle. As part of my contribution I will be supporting interactions with various government departments and agencies to update and improve policies, frameworks and legislation that supports Non Motorised Transport (walking and cycling) and Universal Accessibility. I will also look to assist with building collaborations with other organisations and identifying possible funding opportunities for PPA's work."
Steve Hayward

Continue fighting for greater rights and equity for cyclists both on and offroad while trying to make cycling safer for both commuters andsports cyclists.

Robert Breyer
Membership No: 40114
Nominated by Nicholas Gaertner
"My objective is to make Cape Town safer for cycling. In August alone, 2 cyclists died on our roads. I want to focus on some cycling safe spots such as Chapmans Peak Drive, to introduce a CYCLESUNDAY, a regular event whereby Chappies will be closed to motorized traffic on Sunday mornings. I also have an interest in mountain biking. I wrote the first TMNP EMP 20 years ago. There’s lots of opportunity for more mountain biking in the WCNP, Cape Nature properties around the Western Cape. I will utilise my two decades of experience in the outdoor industry and decade as MCSA Vice Chair to make a difference for cycling."

David Clarke
Membership No: 7334
Nominated by David Bellairs
"PPA will continue to do great advocacy work but my concern is that we do not provide services to the membership where they see actual value. I want to provide a tangible membership benefit that takes cyclists through the experience of training, riding in more events where they can experience bunch riding, all as feeders to the larger events like the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century and Cape Town Cycle Tour. I will drive those event calendars and seeding improvements."
