Saturday Style Ride - what you need to know

WHAT? The Staurday Style Ride is a public gathering of urban individuals with style and an appreciation for noiseless two-wheel transportation. The ride follows a circuit through central Zurich and will end in Kreis 5 at the 25 hours Hotel, where food and drinks will be available. 

WHO? The Saturday Style Ride follows in the footsteps of the highly successful 2011 and 2012 Gentlemen's Runs which is postponed for technical reasons to early autumn this year. It is not replacing or attacking the Gentlemen's Run, but rather trying to fill the gap and to offer some early summer bicycle joy. We are one and the same.

WHY? We have no political or social intention to host this event, but do it purely for the joy of cycling with some good looking, charmingly styled people with the same mindset. If you want to see this urban joyride as a political act, feel free ... but please don't use the event to promote such ideas. 

WHEN? The Zurich Saturday Style Ride starts Sat., June 15th at 3pm. in the afternoon from Zurichhorn. All stylish individuals will meet from 2pm on around the "Heureka" installation by Jean Tinguely to gather and mount starting numbers, which will be supplied by the commitee.

WHERE? We will cycle along the lake to a pit stop at Hürlimann Areal, where Colombo La Famiglia will have some refreshments for us. After this quick stop we will tour central Zürich, waving at spectators, arriving at Stilrad in Kreis 5 for the Award Ceremony (here's the list of prizes) and then finish at 25 hours Hotel Zürich-West, where we will have drinks supplied by Hendrick's, music and a lovely surrounding to celebrate bike style.


HOW? The Saturday Style Ride uses public roads that will be shared by others, notably pedestrians, trams, cars and motorbikes. So please make sure you follow the rules and have your bike in good safety condition. A bike helmet can increase security.

RULES? Roll with style and be polite. Always respect others, be patient and leave any rude language at home. We will ride for joy and style, not to fight.

DRESSCODE? There is NO SPECIFIC RETRO DRESSCODE, you are free to wear whatever suits your mood and lifestyle. Make sure you look dressed-up, special and inspired, because there are some beautiful prices to be won! Check our Facebook page for daily inspirations!

THE WEATHER? We will start in dry conditions only. If the sky sheds his tears on us, we will postpone the Ride to the weekend after. Check here for latest updates...
