| GenevaSculler is correct, the velo vignette is valid from January 1st of the year you buy it until May 31st of the following year, so you get a maximum of 17 months. Don't do what I tried to do and buy it near the end of December, attempting to get one that started on Jan. 1st the next year - they may instead sell you the one for the current year which will expire the next May. I discovered that unlike the Motorway vignettes for cars, velo vignettes do not go on sale until after Jan. 1st.
Having the vignette only valid for a certain canton would be quite amusing - I would then have to cover a significant portion of my bike with vignettes because I probably visit at least 15 cantons on my bike in one year. It could be quite a fun task to try to visit all of the cantons within a year by bike and have all of the stickers to show for it, but sensibly this is not the case, they are valid for all of Switzerland.
I have heard information that suggests that the vignette costs a different price in different cantons, with the reasoning being that the 3rd-party insurance that it provides costs a different amount in different places. However, I've never been able to make a direct comparison to verify this. My post office in Lausanne, Vaud, sold me mine for 2010 for 7 CHF - anyone pay something different? | |

You have your 2010 already.
The 2009's are valid for another 4 months! I'll be waiting to get mine.
Its not the canton that changes the prices its where you buy them. Denner, Migros, Your LBS, TCS or anyone else selling vignettes will all sell them for a slightly different price.
