| Hi, James
I go biking almost every Sunday, depending on the weather. I go on the nine national biking routes (details at Wandern & Velofahren - Schweiz Tourismus - Schweiz ), which are extremely well organized, safe and very busy, at least in the German speaking part of the country. If anything should ever happen (flat tyre, etc.), there will always be someone coming by to help. This may be a little different in the French speaking part, where my impression was that the routes were not quite as busy. You can find the routes easily. In fact, I did the stretch from Basel to Aarau, recently, and the signs were near perfect. There are three National Routes starting in Basel. Just go to the main station and follow the red signs with or without the numbers. If you wat to play it safe, get the little booklets that explain the different routes, called Veloland Schweiz. There are also several threads on this issue, already.
Go for it

Thanks for the tips. I have bought myself a Map from Basel to Aarau. I am still worry if accident happen or flat tyres. I haven't been riding for past decades and this long distance biking thing is really new to me.
I am only here for 3 months and completely new to this place, and people here. And I don't speak German adding more to my concern.
