For the joy of biking
Swiss film producer Sven Wedekind has shot a breathtaking action video of the CYCLE WEEK. His drone footage makes it faster than some games and more nerve-wracking than many blockbusters.

2,000 participants in the Velo-Uni and 80,000 visitors
CYCLE WEEK, the major event of Velo-Switzerland, came to a happy end yesterday evening. 80'000 visitors and passers-by met for the biggest participatory bicycle festival in the country and experienced the whole world of bicycles in the Europaallee and in the Brunau. 2'000 people were at the Velo-Uni and participated in a workshop.
Together, we braved the weather, joined in the fun, tested, marveled and celebrated the bicycle. Many thanks to all visitors, partners, exhibitors and the whole team!
