Cycling to work has many advantages: you arrive at work relaxed; you can clear your head on the way home in the evening; it’s good for both your physical and mental health; and it’s good for the environment at the same time. So, with so many reasons to take part in the bike to work Challenge 2025, isn’t it time you got involved?
We’re aware you probably know your way to work, so in this Collection, we show you some fantastic spots that you can bike to during your lunch break. From the large Swiss cities in our selection, you can reach nature, a green space or a scenic lake or river in a matter of minutes, allowing you to stop, take a seat, and enjoy a moment of peace or tuck into a packed lunch.
These short loops start from the respective city centres and run along quiet roads or cycleways. Back in the town there are always plenty of options for grabbing lunch. The rides are all between 20 and 30 minutes long, fitting nicely into any lunch break.
We’re here to support you in the bike to work Challenge, and are happy to provide more tips for your journey to and from work.The right kit and equipment makes life much easier and, depending on the weather forecast, this may include waterproofs from head to toe. Mudguards can also be worth their weight in gold. Meanwhile, a change of clothes or just a fresh shirt feels good after every ride.
