Stage 3 took us through meadows, corn fields and vineyards – in a torrential downpour! Would we even make it to Liechtenstein?

On our “rest day” in Chur, we hiked the local mountain – Brambrüesch!

Stage 2 would take us through the Swiss Grand Canyon – as long as the only road through the gorge wasn’t closed!

This is the REAL start of the Rhine River Bike Tour! We begin in Oberalp Pass, the source of the Rhine, and descend 1,300 metres via steep highways, tiny back roads, and gravel trails to the town of Ilanz.

On our way to the source of the Rhine River, we stopped in Andermatt to see the Devil’s Bridge.

Bikes are the best way to see a city in one day. We cycled 23km in Zurich – on riverside bike paths, cycleway streets, and even a moat promenade!

When cycle touring, it’s smart to have a multimodal backup plan. Ours sure came in handy on Day 3!

A serene river ride to Düsseldorf, mind-bending architecture in Media Harbour, yummy currywurst for lunch, and a multimodal trip back to Monheim.

This leisurely 23km ride became a 40km adventure detour! How did we get to Monheim?

How we planned this trip, and some stuff we didn’t plan for…

Four videos of fall rides on our Bromptons. (aka The reason we haven’t had time to blog about cycling the Rhine River in Switzerland!)

In May 2024, we travelled to New York City to ride in the Five Boro Bike Tour!
