Europaallee Fest × Open Ride
We partnered with @flightmode.ch and @el_tony_mate to bring you the ultimate open air festival ride! 60 bikes, two chances to ride, and a whole lot of energy.
You know you’re doing it right when the whole neighborhood comes down to watch. The OR team took the stage, built the energy with @nathansbraten behind the decks and started the party off right!
The Flightmode stage continued with a skate competition and a day dance that lasted all the way to closing time. We had an amazing time moving and grooving with you and all our neighbors!
Thank you Europaallee, until next time. 🤍
BASEL PEOPLE / SANDRA
Meet Sandra, your reminder that spreadsheets and off-road adventures can absolutely coexist.
Real estate lawyer by necessity, self-declared party animal (with no plans to retire) by choice. Skis on, boots muddy, or dancing until the DJ gives up. Always down for Italian food and a cheeky prosi.

HOMETOWN
Basel, Switzerland
SOUND
Grew up on the classics, survived the boyband years (no regrets), got shaped by R&B and Hip Hop, and eventually fell headfirst into electronic. Think MJ and ASAP Rocky on one playlist, Oliver Koletzki and Amelie Lens on the next.

„When I sweat, I feel powerful, electric, and a little bit untamed.”

BASEL PEOPLE / IRINA
When she’s not fighting for her clients in court, she’s chasing #lifeisbetterinthemountains, snowboarding, biking, hiking, repeat. You can always find Irina getting outside to recharge and come back for whatever comes next. Boring, never. Chaotic, maybe.

SOUND
All over the place: Punkrock, 90’s and 2000’s (it’s Britney, bitch), old school trance, and yes: proud Swiftie.

POWER ⚡️ HOUR
60 minutes of the Climax or Commit ride you know and love. 15 extra minutes take it up a notch. 🔥
During July and August prepare for an additional challenge, surrender to the power of sweat. Check the schedule for designated Encore rides, offered across times and rides in both studios.
No additional cost. Additonal carbs, recommended 🍝
Need to clock out on time? There’s always a ride break at 40-42 minutes, your exit strategy if you’re skipping the final 15. Rides run as usual with the extra time offered, but not required. You control the heat.
Encore Rides on schedule now, book at Openride.ch or in the Open Ride App 📲
Soluna Summer ☀️
Catch us at Soluna Beach now through July 19th, serving up Control classes + brunch every weekend.
Whether you’re riding the early wave at 9:15 or more of a sun chaser at 11:15, come for a burn hotter than the summer sun
(no SPF required 😉)
Stick around after class to soak up the views of the Zürisee with a mimosa in hand or refuel with an açaí bowl. Brunch on the beach, can’t be beat!
Hurry, this summer special won’t last forever -
