The city is celebrating a historic event with the opening of the cycle link under Zurich main station. A tunnel that was built for a highway will become a tunnel for cyclists.

The bicycle as a lifelong companion
The Cycle Week Festival impressively demonstrates that a bike is more than just a means of transportation. A customized bike improves comfort, performance and safety and increases riding enjoyment. From childhood to old age, the bicycle accompanies us through various phases of life and areas of use such as commuting and leisure. It promotes exercise, health and fast progress in the city as well as fun on leisurely rides and voyages of discovery.
A customized bike has many advantages:

• Individuality: A bike tailored to individual needs is important as it significantly improves comfort, performance and safety.
• Comfort: A bike that is tailored to your body size and shape reduces the risk of pain and injury. A well-fitted bike ensures an ergonomic riding position and optimum power transmission.
• Performance: Riding a bike that fits is more efficient. The right frame size and geometry as well as suitable components such as saddle and handlebars enable better control and higher speed.
• Safety: A bike that fits perfectly offers more stability and control, which is particularly important on challenging terrain or at high speeds. This reduces the risk of accidents.
• Riding pleasure: When the bike fits well, riding is more fun. You feel safer and can cover longer distances without discomfort.

Admission to the entire Cycle Week is free! Cycle Week and Zurich offer a lot of bikes!
