Switzerland

It is difficult to describe the Vélosophe, the name already called, it is a workshop where we sell and repair bikes but with philosophy and kindness even for the old "Biclous" at the end of the journey which finds a new youth here. This "garden hut", dixit the owner, offers a very professional service and repairs for all brands without distinction. Vélosophe is also the specialist in fixed gear cycling ("fixie").

A passion for bikes! In a small pedestrian street that connects the rue de Carouge to the rue Dancet, the Bike Passion team offers you top-of-the-range bikes: mountain bikes, electric bikes, children's bikes, road bikes. You will be very well advised by passionate professionals, whether it is on new products or on new techniques in cycling. You can test the bike in the street before buying it, repairs are cheap, the choice of second-hand bikes is large and the after-sales service is fast and efficient.

Perched in the Alps, the site hosted the World Mountain Bike Championships in 1997. This is obviously not a coincidence. Thus, many trails for this sport are designed and marked.

You can rent an electrically-assisted mountain bike online and reach the steepest corners of Ticino. The fleet comprises around 30 full-suspension e-Mountain Bikes in various sizes. You can pick up your bike at a dozen hotels throughout the canton. You can be accompanied by an experienced guide for simple rides or more technical rides on forest paths if you're experienced. Prices vary according to the number of participants.

Held by a passionate team, the store is filled up to the ceiling of all-terrain, electric, race, city or leisure bicycles, also available on the Internet. Consulting and after-sales service are provided.
