Until September 2010, the bikes and electric bikes from Thömus Veloshop and myStromer AG were already available in Basel at the Transa Bike Shop. When Benjamin Müller took over this business and transformed it into Cycling Emotion Bike Shop, the Thömus bikes disappeared from the range and from the Basel bike offering.

Under the management of Vittorio Wyssbrod, Thömus is now returning to the border triangle and a Stromer store is being built in Binningen, just outside Basel. The opening has been announced for mid-May. According to Wyssbrod, the focus will be on the Stromer e-bike. However, they also want to cover the rest of the Thömus range with city and racing bikes as well as mountain bikes and offer customers sporting and cultural events.

The retro bike specialists from Chez Velo are ensuring further movement in the Basel store landscape. Following the concept of exhibiting bikes and organizing events in an apartment, Christian Berra and Andreas Schabbach are now moving into a store in Basel's city centre. The store will also include a café, which is intended as a meeting place for cycling enthusiasts. The opening will take place on Saturday, May 7.
