Two years after the indoor bike park in Pfäffikon ZH ceased operations, a new bike hall is opening its doors just 20 kilometers away. The associations Bike Trails Pfannenstiel and Trail Friends, which are primarily committed to legal trails in the canton of Zurich, have taken the initiative and operate the facility over the winter months.
The hall is located on the site of the decommissioned Uetikon chemical plant directly on Lake Zurich. Sulphuric acid and other chemicals were produced there from 1818 until the early 2000s. Now the bikers provide sweat instead of sulphur .

Opening with cycling celebrities

Two pump tracks, a small jump line with two one-meter-high tables, waves and other facilities for the little ones await visitors. The hall is open to everyone on Wednesday afternoons and evenings, as well as at weekends. Riding technique courses are also held, and clubs and schools can hire the hall for training sessions or lessons.
The opening ceremony will take place on Saturday, November 30th, with professional riders Sina Frei and Simon Zahner in attendance. Admission is free on this first day. Regular operations will start on Sunday, December 1, with admission prices ranging from 5 to 15 francs.
