Our Mission and Purpose

Think Bike Marshals have the following mission and purposes:

  1. We are the public face of the Think Bike Road Safety Campaign. As a result of what we do and our relatively high public profile, we are very often the face of the campaign that the public most often see. Because of this we demand and try to maintain the highest standards of safety and ethics.
  2. Think Bike Marshals provide Safety Marshalling and Traffic Control for many varied events. We are available whenever companies, clubs or groups of people require assistance in moving from one geographic location to another. This may involve so-called “static marshalling” when Marshals are positioned at intersections, to short and long distance “rolling roadblock” marshalling, when Marshals control traffic over sometimes literally thousands of kilometres.
  3. We have the duty of providing funding for the Think Bike Road Safety Campaign. The assignments we take up are both paid as well as unpaid and the funds raised by the paid events go towards Campaign and Marshalling costs. Our unpaid or volunteer assignments are used to support a wide range of charity events supporting anything from animal welfare to assisting people in need.

We assist in moving groups of people from location to location safely. This may involve weekend cycle club training events, international open road UCI registered events, corporate cycle riding events

(both on and off-road) as well as mass motorcycle events such as the Kyalami Mass Ride and the Tshwane Toy Run.

We are also called on to provide a Rapid Response Team at pedestrian crowd events like the 702 Walk the Talk.

Marshal assignments may be static intersection marshalling all the way up to national open road events, covering thousands of kilometres of the open road – examples are the Cape Rouleur and the Sasol Solar Car Challenge. We work closely with traffic police and have a remarkably close relationship with the Search and Rescue South Africa Unit (SARZA)
