Cycling day trip from Taganskiy to Novogireyevo

Here’s a classic Moscow ride, starting in the bustling Taganskiy District—famous for its Soviet-era architecture and cool culture spots—and ending in the leafy, laid-back Novogireyevo. You’ll cover just over 26 km, mostly cruising on smooth asphalt (about 83% of the route), with a comfortable mix of quiet roads and some access roads. The ride is pretty gentle, with a manageable ascent of around 127 meters—nothing too dramatic, but enough to keep things interesting.

As you leave Taganskiy’s urban energy behind, you’ll pass through some of Moscow’s characteristic neighborhoods, catching glimpses of city parks and local cafes. The final stretch into Novogireyevo gives you a taste of a classic residential Moscow area, popular for its green spaces and relaxed vibe. While the route is predominantly on quiet roads, keep an eye out for a few short sections of gravel and busier roads closer to intersections.

In short: this is a perfect ride for getting away from the center and seeing some real Moscow, all while enjoying a comfortable, varied cycle across the city.
