20-км прогулка в САО от м.Тимирязевская
A cycling route starting in Ostankinskiy, Moscow, Russia.
Overview
About this route
On this short section you will pass through four green zones in a row: Dubki Park, Timiryazev Forest, Golovinsky Ponds, and the alley of the Timiryazev Academy.
Notable architecture includes the Mikhalkov Estate near the Golovinsky Ponds and the buildings of the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy.
The route is quite diverse – from the metro to Dubki, the road goes through residential courtyards (all neighboring roads are similarly narrow, but have more cars). Dubki is a fairly relaxed area, but in good weather there are many strollers and small children. The forest is the best part – quiet and not crowded, with reasonably well-maintained paths (in good weather). Although it is a forest, it is part of the city, so benches, bins, and everything civilised are everywhere. Don’t be afraid that it’s a forest.
Next, the section goes through a livelier part of the city. Be especially careful at the railway crossing – there are trams and cars. If you’re riding with children, better to wait a few extra minutes and wait for the next green light at the pedestrian crossing to start moving on green, rather than be caught by red halfway through.
Golovinsky Ponds are less crowded than Dubki but have fewer paths.
On the way back, alongside the Great Sadovy Pond, it’s better to ride on the pedestrian sidewalk, as traffic is busy there; but don’t speed, so you don’t fall into the pond :)
Before turning onto Timiryazev Street, be sure to slow down – there’s a very sharp and awkward corner. Then cross at the pedestrian crossing to the other side of the street – there is the alley of the Agricultural Academy – not shown on the map but surrounded by trees.
When you get back to the forest and ride along it, you will ride on the most comfortable stretch of the road, as there is a very wide sidewalk that actually serves as a bike lane and jogging track.
Keep in mind that there are occasional tram rail crossings on the route – beginners should remember to cross the tracks either straight on (never diagonally, as wheels slip and you can fall) or by slightly lifting the front wheel, without forgetting the rear.
The main part of the route goes through quiet, low-traffic sections, so the route is suitable for beginners and children – there will be virtually no climbs or descents.
For hill lovers, in the forest near the shown route (to the left, just before the ponds) there are excellent hills.
