Bern
Cycling coach in Bern
Bern is wrapped in a loop of the Aare, and the riverside path that follows it is the best continuous running and cycling surface in any Swiss city — flat, shaded, and long enough that you rarely repeat yourself. In summer the river itself becomes the swimming venue, which is the single most Bernese thing about training here.
The city is compact and unhurried, and sessions here are easier to schedule than in Zurich or Geneva. Coaches work in German and English, with French common given the proximity to the language border.
This is climbing country, so that is what we coach
Everything here goes up. The vineyard roads of La Côte, the Jura passes, the Alpine cols within an hour of the lake — which means most sessions end up being about climbing well rather than riding fast on the flat. Cadence, pacing a long ascent, when to stand, and how to arrive at the top with something left.
Position and equipment
A session often starts with twenty minutes on your position, because most amateur riders are fighting their bike rather than riding it. Bring your own bike — coaching on an unfamiliar one wastes half the value. Your coach brings nothing you need except judgement.

Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
Your coach rides at your pace. A session is not a group ride with someone stronger than you, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
Can you help me prepare for a sportive?
Yes, and it is a common reason people book. Tell us the event and the date and the session gets built backwards from it.
What if the weather is bad?
Light rain, we ride. Ice, storms or genuinely dangerous conditions, your coach contacts you and we move the session at no cost.
