Theoretically, I wanted to share here the third part of the BOTM Maloja Edition but the video is not ready for release right now.

Change of plans is something I am getting really used to...

Instead, I want to share an idea which I have in my head since a long time and actually wanted to realise in 2020. I wanted to build - in cooperation with our most dedicated OPEN dealers -  a network of 10-15 OPEN-HOUSES around the globe. 

The idea is to have a place where you can rent OPEN bikes and all equipment needed for single or multiple days trips.

You have a selection of routes and a selection of places where you can stay from budget to luxury... So you get the complete package and you don't have to worry about anything. You just travel to the OPEN HOUSE and all the rest is taken care off..

But of course it is not gonna happen even in 2021. Today on my lunch ride I realised once again how small my world has become. As you might know by reading my blogs our office is very close to the German and French boarder. So I am pretty limited where I can go. Not complaining I still can go...



But on the positive side I am already checking the routes for another project the " non border cross" ride along the borders to our neighbour countries Germany, France, Italy and Austria and Lichtenstein. A ride along the border and always stay on the Swiss side...Something completely new!

Back to the video for this OPEN HOUSE. It is the perfect location - there is all you need: A bike shop, a restaurant, a cool coffee place and a simple B&B all in the same building and surrounded by spectacular routes...

Check it out here:



...and of course all of that is closed right now because of restrictions..but there is hope...for later this year.
