Кольцо по Пятёрке и набережной

Overall, the route is suitable for a cyclist below average skill level, provided they are not afraid of roads.

The road along Chkalova Street is quite comfortable – there is enough space and no turns. Uglichskaya and Chekhova Streets are a bit worse, sometimes you have to squeeze to the edge. At the Privokzalnoye roundabout, drivers won’t yield, so you just have to wait. Ukhtomskogo Street and the beginning of Bolshaya Oktyabrskaya Street are quite convenient. The intersection with Tolbukhin Avenue is very unpleasant – it’s better to go straight since turning onto the embankment is easier from Volodarskogo Street.

The Kotoroslnaya embankment, the spur, and the Volga embankment are just paradise for cyclists. Moreover, the Volga embankment has marked bike lanes, although mostly used by pedestrians.

A minor issue is the climb up a long staircase at the end of the embankment – it’s quite high.

Riding along Lenin Avenue is comfortable, although you have to pass through two traffic lights.
