About

Bike Days in Solothurn were the annual meeting point for the cycling industry and over 25,000 bike fans. At Switzerland’s largest bike expo, more than 130 exhibitors presented the full diversity of the bike world. National and international pro athletes like Nino Schurter and Jolanda Neff competed in the Proffix Swiss Bike Cup. At the MTB Dirtjump and BMX Flatland freestyle contests, world stars like Nicholi Rogatkin and Matthias Dandois showed how it’s done.


The Urban Bike Festival developed along similar lines between 2015 and 2019, but with a stronger focus on urban culture and lifestyle. Here, everything revolved around cycling culture, modern mobility and lifestyle. The urban bike expo showcases stylish and innovative solutions for everyday life and leisure. Street food stands, unplugged concerts, and events like Danny MacAskill’s Drop and Roll Show offer entertainment. Sporting highlights such as Urban Cyclocross – a race through volleyball fields, water pits, and over the Zurich West viaduct – round off the program.

From 2021, the Bike Days Solothurn and the Urban Bike Festival merged to form Cycle Week, a joint event focusing on cycling culture as a whole.
