Schurter and Co. bring mountain bike tours to primetime TV

With "Keep on Riding", SRF2 shows the most exciting mountain bike trails in Switzerland from the cockpit perspective of well-known mountain bikers - a first for Swiss television, and in prime time to boot. The first episode with Nino Schurter, Thomas Frischknecht and the Gehrig Twins starts on Tuesday, September 8th. This will be followed by Claudio Caluori with "Pump for Peace" on TV.

The sport of mountain biking is taking over primetime on the SRF2 television channel. While mountain biking has so far mainly made it into primetime thanks to the brilliant results of Swiss mountain biking stars, the sport is being presented to the masses in its purest form for once.

On Tuesday, September 8, Nino Schurter, Thomas Frischknecht and the twins Anita and Carolin Gehrig will be showing their favorite tours in Lugano and Flims. This first episode of "Keep on Riding" starts at 20:10. This is followed at 21:10 by the documentary about "Pump for Peace: A bike track for Lesotho" with pump track builder Claudio Caluori.
The repeat of the first episode of "Keep on Riding" follows at 01:15.

Aiming high

The second part of "Keep on Riding" takes you up high: together with Franziska Gobeli, Ride editor Thomas Giger climbs and rides the Barrhorn on his mountain bike. This is the highest accessible, glacier-free mountain in Switzerland.
But also ridden in Zurich: Adventurous trails from a cockpit perspective can be seen from the Üetliberg.

The high alpine and urban mountain bike adventures will be broadcast on September 15, 2020 at 8:10 pm. Night owls can watch the repeat on September 16 at 01:30 a.m.
