Podcast: Wohlgroth reflects on the "Zäme Häppy" project

Zäme happy Zäme uf em Wäg Goodwill Aktion Alec Wohlgroth

Alec Wohlgroth caused quite a stir far beyond his region with his lawsuit against the city of Zurich and the subsequent launch of the "Zäme Happy" campaign. In the ZüriTrails podcast, he talks about his experiences and what he learned during this wild phase.

The feature on Swiss television was a dramatic experience for Alec Wohlgroth. Not because of the coverage, but because of the subsequent complaint from the city of Zurich, which accused him of driving on prohibited roads. Wohlgroth did not accept the complaint and went to court - and won. The court confirmed that riding on single trails in the city of Zurich is legal.

So much for the background. In the podcast of the Zurich bike community "ZüriTrails", Wohlgroth looks back on this time and focuses on the resulting "Zäme Häppy" campaign. With this campaign, Wohlgroth wants to achieve the opposite of what happened to him: a confrontation that could end in front of a judge. Although he has achieved a great deal through the confrontation, he wants to prevent such a context from happening again. This area of tension provides the interesting basis for the podcast, which is well worth listening to.

Alec Wohlgroth: "Now we are no longer second-class forest users

Alec Wohlgroth and Matthias Lüscher have put up a strong fight against a fine they received for riding on single trails on the Uetliberg. The result is a court ruling that confirms, at least in the canton of Zurich, that all single trails may be ridden on which no riding ban is signposted. In the two and a half years in between, Alec not only fought for the rights of Zurich's mountain bikers, but was also massively attacked by parts of the bike community.

A landmark ruling: mountain biking is legal on several trails on the Uetliberg

Mountain biking on the Uetliberg is only permitted on forest roads and official trails, according to the responsible authority, Grün Stadt Zürich. A ruling by the governor's office now shows that this is not true. Several trails on the Uetliberg can be used by mountain bike. However, because two mountain bikers have also appealed this decision, it is not yet legally binding.

Mountainbiken Uetliberg, Stadt Zürich

The Zurich defeat should give food for thought

For decades, the city of Zurich claimed that mountain biking on single trails was illegal. Two private individuals took legal action against this and were proven right in court. This raises the question: should we mountain bikers go to court more often or should we continue to just sit at the negotiating table? Thoughts on this from Ride editor Thomas Giger.
