ChezVelo is a cozy bike shop tucked into a fairly busy roadway just up from the Rhine River.

There's a wee hang out space in the front of the shop where one can chill on a sofa, read cycling literature and enjoy an espresso drink. The idea is for those coming off a long cycle journey to have a place to relax and recharge before getting back out on the road. The CV dudes know the cycle routes around Basel and beyond, so if one is keen on receiving tips or fancies going out on a ride with the CV team, then ask 'em! I found the shop vibe inviting and the product stellar. If I didn't already own a bike, then I know exactly where I'd purchase one.

A very nice, patient and respectable store employee. We soon realized everyone in that store is fantastic. They are very knowledgeable, efficient in informing customers and it's a pleasure to shop there. I highly recommend this store

They helped me out big time when my own bike didn't make it through customs. I sent them my retul measurements, and they set up a sweet high end BMC with amazing Cosmic Carbone wheels for me. It fit perfectly, and allowed me to explore what I think is the best riding in all of Europe - Black Forest, Alsace, Jura. It just doesn't get any better than this. After a month I returned the bike, and that was that. Very reasonably priced. No need to ever travel with your own bike if you're going to Basel. And since there isn't a comparable store in Zurich or Bern, I would recommend this if you ever want to go cycling in Switzerland.
