The Cape Grace Hotel has partnered with Swedish bicycle and lifestyle brand, Vélosophy, and Nestlé to offer guests bicycles made from 95% recycled aluminium, including Nespresso coffee capsules.
The bicycles highlight sustainability and innovation with a design inspired by Nespresso’s Ice Leggero capsule including a capsule-shaped bell, an oak carrier basket with cup holders for on-the-go coffee and aluminium components crafted from recycled materials in Nespresso’s global recycling programme.
At check-in, guests can reserve one of the 10 uniquely named bicycles such as Grace, Two Oceans, Seal, Mermaid, Penguin, Big Wheel, Speedy, Scuba, Sharkie and Breeze. Each rental includes a sanitised bicycle, helmet, navigation map and security chain.
The bicycles are available for day-time exploration with a requirement to return before sunset.
