Virgin created a list of the most bicycle friendly cities in the world. I was under the impression that Switzerland might be right up there, given that I don't cycle It's no surprise I'm wrong.

Basel comes in at #11.

For the cyclists... are you guys catered for in Switzerland. I've heard keen cyclists say that Switzerland is fantastic for cycling.

The article is from Wired online
Luzern is pretty good, there are cycle lanes most places, and for the main part, they avoid the busiest roads. There are plenty of places to park and lock up too.

There's a couple of scary lanes though, going over the bridge for one, stuck in the middle lane with traffic going either side of you.

Still, it's nowhere near the scale of Basel or Zurich, so I imagine the traffic is a lot quiter anyway.
