The MTB concept of the Canton of Zurich is cause for joyful whips and trail whoops. But it also contains a few points that need clarification. We asked the canton's project manager, Livio Peterer from the Bicycle Traffic Office.

The IG Mountainbike Zürich has been founded. The new umbrella organization promises to work towards a good mountain bike infrastructure in the canton. As a representative of mountain bikers, the IG wants to influence the ongoing political processes.

A motion instructs the Zurich government to lay the foundations for a comprehensive mountain bike infrastructure. The motion states that all those seeking recreation should strive for coexistence. However, this could turn out differently than some bikers hope.

The canton of Zurich has had its mountain bike infrastructure needs assessed. Allegra has analyzed the situation and comes to the conclusion: there are too few single trails.

The canton of Zurich is investigating where mountain bike infrastructure is needed and where conflicts arise. An online survey is therefore currently underway. The results will be incorporated into the mountain bike infrastructure inventory analysis, which will be available in spring 2023. It remains to be seen whether it will be published.
