The measurements were taken by the city authorities and showed around 16,000 rides on the "Antenna Trail" in 2010. Mountain bike representatives in Zurich see the reason for the massive increase in the many construction measures, where difficult spots have been defused, sections repaired and new, attractiveness-enhancing elements installed. "It shows that the collaboration between the foresters from Grün Stadt Zürich and the members of the association to optimize the trail is having a positive effect," explains Frank Wadenpohl, President of the Züritrails mountain bike lobby.

On November 27, 2011, the members of the Züritrails association will meet to clear the trail of leaves and carry out further minor repairs. The measurements have also shown that the downhill trail is used all year round and even after dark. "To avoid disturbing the game unnecessarily, driving in the dark should be avoided if possible," adds Wadenpohl on this aspect.www.zueritrails.ch
