'''Option 1: Neufeld'''
From the train station, take the bus #11 to Neufeld P+R to the last station (You can use a short distance ticket for 2,- CHF.). Walk 5 Get out, turn left and walk 2 minutes to a roundabout with a nice hard shoulder. You should use a signIn August 2009 the new "Neufeld-Tunnel" was opened and since then this spot is not frequented that much anymore. It still works, as there is a lot of local but not much traffic. Therefore see Option 2: Tiefenaustrasse.
'''Option 2: Tiefenaustrasse''' Take Bus 11/21 until "Henkerbrünnli". Or walk: It's a 5-10 minutes walk from the trainstation. Walk in direction of Bollwerk/Schützenmatte or to the "Reithalle" (a big autonome building with a lot of Graffiti etc.). Cross the street behind the Reithalle and there's the beginning of the Tiefenaustrasse, which leads directly into the Neufeld-tunnel and unto the highway A1. Many cars, not too much space to stop (bike lane), but it works. Better use a sign because of local traffic. '''Option 3: Wankdorf'''
From the train station, take the bus #20 to the station Wyler (buy a ticket 'zone 1-2' for 3.80 CHF). Walk 200m on the left side of the street (on your right you see a huge stadium, then cross the big crossroads. Right there you see a bus stop (Bus #28) where there is enough space for cars to stop. Use a sign! Cars driving past there can go to Zurich, Basel, Biel, Luzern,... You can take any lift to get onto the highway (A1), right after Bern (3min) there is the service area "Grauholz" where you can change quite easily.
'''''update June 20092010:''''' there are construction works and probably from August 2009 until 2012 it is not possible anymore to get on the highway in Wankdorfsituation changes every week. The traffic will be led to Neufeld. Right now These days (June14, 2010) itthe bus stop, where cars can easily stop, was moved around the corner. It's not the best place anymore, but it still does work. you better use a great spot!sign.

'''Option 34: Ostring'''
From the train station, take tram #5 to Ostring (final station). Just stand in front of the highway entrance. It's not the best place because cars can't see you from far away, but when it's raining you can place yourself under the highway bridge. And there is enough place for cars to stop.
