Hand-building competition moves from Zurich to Solothurn
The "Bike Lovers Contest" will take place for the first time during the Bike Days in Solothurn. The competition organizers are taking this step away from the previous venue, the "particle accelerator" in Zurich, in order to reach an even larger audience and presence.

Away from the mainstream
The bikes for the competition are likely to have already been built or are in the final construction phase, with the closing date for entries set for April 12. The competition is open to fast bikes that are potentially the fastest in their class and have been built by hand in Europe in the last three years.

The "Bike Lovers Contest" - a homage to bicycles beyond the usual - has always brought very individual, interesting and even bizarre vehicles to the attention of the public. This year too, there is likely to be plenty to see for bike lovers away from the mainstream.

Exhibited from Bike Days Friday
The fast bikes will be on display at Bike Days from 4 p.m. on Friday, May 8, after the jury has taken two hours to evaluate them. On Saturday, May 9, the award ceremony will take place at 19:30 and on Sunday, May 10, the hand-built specimens can still be viewed.
