Quick ride by bicycle from Shushary to Kupchino

Enjoy a relaxed spin from Shushary to Kupchino, two southern neighborhoods of Saint Petersburg, perfect for exploring the city’s outskirts on two wheels! Shushary is known for its fast-growing residential zones and connection to major routes, making it a convenient launching point. From here, you’ll spend most of your ride (over 80%) on paved or asphalt surfaces, so expect smooth sailing.

The route rolls gently north, with just a little bit of up and down—nothing your gears can’t handle—passing through a mix of quiet roads and local access streets. About 14% is unpaved, with short stretches of gravel and ground, so a hybrid or sturdy city bike is a good pick.

Kupchino, your destination, is a lively residential area with a bustling vibe, famous for its massive “Kupchinskaya” metro station and being one of the largest microdistricts in Saint Petersburg. All in, you’re looking at an easy 12.4 km journey—perfect for a leisurely afternoon ride, with plenty of chances to experience both new and old faces of the city.
