Mountain biking is one of the most popular sports in Switzerland today. Bike production is now a relevant economic segment, and in alpine tourism, bikers are seen as the most important summer clientele and as relevant compensation for the uncertain winter business. Top athletes are also no longer a side note in the media, but often headliners of sports programs. Mountain biking as a whole has arrived in the top league. All this is no coincidence, but is due to the commitment of some outstanding personalities. People who have always believed in the sport and have put everything on the mountain bike map. Some did this because they wanted to make the sport bigger, others because they simply loved it and didn't want to deal with anything else. This special edition of Ride is dedicated to those Swiss riders who have done just that over the years and have had a significant influence on the sport over the last few decades. All the interviews are lovingly illustrated by Niklas Hughes.
 
But the September special edition of Ride has more to offer than just the big background interviews. The big lounge is also part of the program in this issue and shows what is currently going on in mountain biking. And in general, what is now standard for Ride applies to this issue: above-average quality pictures, a loving design and a varied mix of topics with lots of interesting and unusual news from the sport of mountain biking.
