Presentation of the cantonal mountain bike strategy - by IG MTB ZH
In December, after two years of work, the Zurich cantonal government approved the cantonal mountain bike concept. The aim is to create an attractive, safe and needs-based offer. The basis is the shared use of paths: mountain biking is generally permitted on all paths shown on the Swisstopo map.
The contents of the 70-page strategy and the next steps will be presented by the Cycle Traffic Office at Cycle Week and questions will be answered afterwards.
