Saturday is approaching - the essentials

The 3rd Zürich Saturday Style Ride is approaching and we look forward to welcome the stylish cyclist from 2pm on at Heureka/Zürichhorn. 111 starting numbers will be handed out. First come - first serve. Only participants with a starting number are in the run for this year's prizes. Admission is free - just make sure you are dressed to the nines!

WHAT IS IT? A stylish cycle ride for people who enjoy fashion, cycling and life. No political meaning attached, though you are free to view it that way. But please keep this as your private pleasure. We are not there to demonstrate against anything. Saturday Style Ride is a zero-budget event living on the support of the style and cycle community in and around Zürich.

WHERE DO WE GO? We will tour the town of Zurich in loose groups, stopping on half-route at Colombo La Famiglia in Hürlimann-Areal / Brandschenkestrasse (late joiners can jump in there) for a refreshment and will then cycle to 25hours Hotel Zürich West, where drinks and some light foods will be available. Here's the estimated route (depending on traffic situation).

WHAT IS THERE TO WIN? A golden bicycle by Bella Ciao, a sporty watch by Maurice de Mauriac, a weekend for two in the funkiest hotel in town, a handlebar-bag, a pocket-watch and so on ... see the full list of prizes in this link here. The jury is tough and demanding!

WHO CAN JOIN? Virtually anyone on two wheels or, if disabled, on three wheels, without motors (or low electric power). We usually attract well-dressed gentlemen, but since this has become talk-of-town, we see more and more women joining the ride - and we love that. Couples can win a special prize this year...

FURTHER DETAILS are listed here, make sure your bike is in roadworthy conditions. And dress up! For inspiration, visit the daily updated Facebook page of Saturday Style Ride.

Now is stores around Zürich - Saturday Style Ride

Some of the finest fashion stores in downtown Zurich are supporting the SATURDAY STYLE RIDE idea with special window displays, showing nice bikes (supplied by Stilrad°°) and the announcement of the cycle style ride on Saturday 15th... Go and have a look at their windows and goods!

Window at Stereo Fashion, Seefeld.

One of the first to enthousiastically support the STYLE RIDE was STEREO FASHION in Seefeldstrasse (images above) - the first ever Gentlemen's Run already did a pitstop here!

Bike window at Looq, Kirchgasse.

Then there is the always great designer fashion boutique LOOQ in Kirchgasse, who stocks unusual labels and also supports SATURDAY STYLE RIDE with some announcements in the windows!

Bike window at DeeCee Style, Talacker.

Another of our all-time favourite shops in central Zürich is DEE CEE STYLE, stocking really good casual- and denimwear - plus they sell bikes, too (no joke!).

 Bike window at Vestibule, Talacker.

We are really proud to have the support of VESTIBULE at Talacker/St.Peterstrasse, run by the always super-stylish Laurence Antiglio and Filippo Castagna - it's a feminine Pelago by Stilrad°°.

Looq Schweizergasse with a Schindelhauer.

Then there is a second store of LOOQ nely opened at Schweizergasse, where a wonderfully modern Schindelhauer bicycle (type Ludwig) is exhibited...

Pelikamo in Pelikanstrasse with a radically simple custom bike of their own make.

Last but not least there is PELIKAMO, a very elegant gentlemen's store stocking modern classics and supplying made-to-measure services. Even the bike is custom-built.
