Yes, a most trusty steed. The tires are 26x1.3, which are perfect for the mix of roads and gravel paths here.

Zurich is a pretty town, right on a very large lake and a river. The Alps are visible from town on clear days. A small mountain called Uetliberg can be hiked from the city outskirts and provides great views. The public transportation is superbe, and everything is very bike friendly. I just got a "welcome to town" packet in the mail, and it included a map of bus routes, a map of hiking routes, a map of cycling routes, a flyer about a cycling course for children, and a postcard you can mail to the city requesting a cycling route between two points. And there is a city bike tour advertised for two future dates.

The university building I work at downtown has about 100 bikes parked outside every day. Many of the bike racks in town have partial roofs to keep the bikes dry in the rain. Here are the bikes parked by my building. Alpine Rabbit could tell you more - I'm still learning.
