About us
We are a group of friendly people who enjoy road riding in the beautiful countryside surrounding Geneva.
Our rides occur March-October, on Saturday mornings (4-5 hours), and Thursday evenings (2 hours) during daylight savings. We have 4 ride levels, from moderately easy to quite challenging, all led by experienced guides. Bike Switzerland also rents high quality road, touring, gravel and e-bikes. Click here to learn more.
Please sign up with a level that suits your abilities; this will ensure you can keep up and not slow down other riders. If you're not sure, choose the relaxed level the first time out with us. Look at the Meetup events we post for more details.
