Quick ride by bicycle from Lefortovo to Moscow

This ride takes you from historic Lefortovo, a quiet and leafy Moscow district with roots going back to Peter the Great, right into the beating heart of the city. The route is about 15 kilometers and mainly paved (expect mostly smooth sailing with just a few stretches of paving stones and old concrete for character).

You'll start in Lefortovo’s calm, park-lined streets, then make your way toward the city center. Most of the ride follows cycleways and quieter roads, though you’ll need to be alert for occasional busy stretches as you approach downtown. The ascent and descent are gentle, so it’s a good option for casual riders, too.

Glide past a mix of residential neighborhoods, leafy boulevards, and city buzz, before rolling up to your finish right in central Moscow, just steps from Red Square. Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or just spinning for fun, this route offers a mix of Moscow’s old charm and urban energy.
