By bicycle from Saltykovka to Reutov

Set out from the quiet suburb of Saltykovka, east of Moscow, and enjoy a breezy 12-kilometer ride to Reutov. This route sticks mainly to peaceful roads—ideal if you prefer a relaxed ride over fighting city traffic. About 40% of your way is on asphalt, but be ready for some mixed surfaces (maybe a bit of packed dirt or gravel where the pavement takes a pause).

You’ll only face gentle climbs, with the highest point just 168 meters above sea level, so it’s very manageable for most cyclists. Passing through tree-lined streets and some typical Moscow Region neighborhoods, you’ll catch glimpses of local life outside the city bustle.

Reutov, your destination, is a lively satellite town with shopping centers, parks, and a cool mix of old and modern architecture. It’s also a great spot to grab coffee or a snack before heading back. This route is perfect for a weekend spin or anyone looking to explore a quieter side of Moscow’s surroundings!
