Velojournal

Velojournal is a Swiss specialist two-wheel magazine published by Velomedien AG in Zürich. It follows the technical development of bicycles and e-bikes, tracks trends, offers critical classification and comments on Swiss cycling policy. Its editorial scope includes everyday and leisure cycling promotion, travel reports, tests, market overviews, background features and columns. Product tests are often produced in cooperation with SRF's Kassensturz and the consumer magazines K-Tipp and Saldo. The magazine appears five times a year and had a WEMF/KS-certified circulation of 21,470 copies in 2022/2023, with 21,377 total sold copies (until 2023). The kiosk price is CHF 9.50. Until the end of 2023 Velojournal was the association organ of Pro Velo Schweiz; since 2024 it has appeared independently of Pro Velo. The publisher is Velomedien AG, which also publishes the title Cyclinfo. The editorial team includes publisher and editor-in-chief Pete Mijnssen, technical editor Marius Graber, editor Frederic Härri, and contributors such as Aline Künzler and Julie Nielsen. The magazine traces its roots to the Veloziitig, founded in 1986 by IG Velo Zürich as the successor to the club newsletter Katzenauge. In 1993 the Veloziitig became Velojournal, the most widely distributed Swiss bicycle specialist magazine. It became the official organ of IG Velo Schweiz in 1994, with regional editions added by IG Velo Bern from 1995 and IG Velo beider Basel (later Luzern) from 1998. Velojournal remains a key voice in Swiss cycling media, combining product journalism with advocacy-oriented coverage of cycling infrastructure and policy.

Velojournal's history begins with the Veloziitig, founded in 1986 by IG Velo Zürich as the successor to the club newsletter Katzenauge. The Veloziitig remained the organ of IG Velo Zürich until the end of 1992, before being absorbed into the newly founded Velojournal in 1993. In 1994 Velojournal became the official organ of IG Velo Schweiz. From 1995, IG Velo Bern added a regional edition to the main issue, followed by IG Velo beider Basel in 1998 and later Luzern. The magazine was published by Velomedien AG and remained the association organ of Pro Velo Schweiz until the end of 2023. Since 2024 it has appeared independently of Pro Velo. Over the decades, Velojournal has built a reputation for independent product testing, often in cooperation with SRF's Kassensturz and consumer magazines K-Tipp and Saldo, as well as for critical coverage of Swiss cycling policy and infrastructure. Its editorial team has included long-serving figures such as publisher and editor-in-chief Pete Mijnssen and technical editor Marius Graber, who has observed the bike market for around thirty years.
