hey Tom,

sweet pictures and commute.

i'll be coming briefly through Switzerland in 3 1/2 weeks on my way to southern France (Nice) for a mountain bike and rock climbing vacation... although probably only spend one day in Switzerland for a short day climb of a mountain peak -- maybe something in the 3000m range...

and some time this summer i will be heading to Zug (south of Zurich) to meet up with a MTB friend and ride some local trails.

Switzerland is a cool place - i was in Zurich just last February - stopped for a day on my way back from Chamonix - i'm still undecided long term if i want to live in southern Germany, the western US (Rockies, Cascades or Sierra Nevada), german-speaking Switzerland (east), eastern Austria, or western Canada... but i've been thinking more and more about Swizterland recently --- obwohl Swiezerdeutch ist richtig schwer!

but i think Switzerland is about as bike-friendly as Bavaria... and the mountains are higher!
