At least now i know there is ONE! =) Why are there so few bicycle/motorcycles in Moscow. Wouldnt it be a bit dangerous for them there due to the aggressive way of driving of russian drivers or is it difficult to secure the bike there? I loved visiting Beijing on a bicycle, going random and following my GPS indications to go back to the hostel. But i didnt do it in Moscow since i saw so few of them.
