Grüss from Zürich!!!

Hello everyone! Just moved to Switzerland and decided to get out of the car after 40 years. So, new biker, a lot of new stuff to learn. Spring is finally here, no excuses!

Cheers!!!

New rider in Switzerland?
I recommend really low gears for cycling in your 'hills'.

Welcome to Zürich! Switzerland is great for cyclists. Mountain and road alike. Judging by where you are, you've got some pretty nice choices right in your area. Kyburg, Pfungen, Airport loop, etc...

There's no reason to have a car in this place. $250 per month for parking, $6 per gallon for gas, $850 yearly taxes for a 3.5l...

Bike, tram, train and bus just make a whole lot more sense.
