He competed in the team pursuit event at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[1] Between 1955 and 1959 he won a medal at every UCI Motor-paced World Championships, including a gold medal in 1958. He also won five national titles in motor-paced racing (1955, 1957–1960).[2][3]
Bucher was also a successful road cyclist, winning 11 six-day races out of 66.[4] He missed the 1961 UCI Track World Championships in his native Zurich due to a bad fall earlier that year.
