Zurich
Cycling coach in Zurich
Zurich packs an unusual amount of usable ground into a small area: the lake shore for flat work, the Limmat and Sihl for river-side running, and the Uetliberg rising directly behind the city for anything involving a gradient. You can be on a forest trail eleven minutes from Hauptbahnhof, which is why the city trains outdoors far more than its weather reputation suggests.
It is also the largest market we serve and the one with the most demanding schedules. Early morning and post-work slots go first and go fast; midday is comparatively open. Most of our coaches here work in German and English, and several in French.
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.
