How to rent bicycle in Moscow. Bikes rent in Moscow

A popular thought is that Moscow’s bike rental system is rather complex to use. In reality, it is automated, and, once you get the hang of it, nothing could seem simpler.

​

Bicycles' rental was launched in 2013 by the Moscow government. At first, there were only 79 pick-up points across the city, which was quite a lot, but still not enough with the 10-million population. Bank of Moscow, one of project’s biggest supporters, was joined by Sberbank in 2015, and ever since then the system has been growing considerably.

The project was intended to become a non-traditional, unique bike rental system, an alternative to personal and public transport, and it is just that: some even say that at the present moment, if the weather is right, one can forget about any other means of transportation, - today we have over 300 pick-up and drop-off spots across entire Moscow.

​

So, how to get started with Velobike? The first step would be going to http://velobike.ru/, registering there as a user, and adding personal information and bank details to the account. Afterwards login and pin code will be send to one’s email or phone via SMS.

Expensive Moscow: How Much Does It Cost To Live In Moscow?

Expensive Moscow: How Much Does It Cost To Live In Moscow?

For many years till 2011  Moscow was in top 10 most expensive cities in the world. It seems strange if you know that average salary in Moscow is around only 1000 dollars (USD). Today Moscow is on the 50th place but still in some positions Russian Capital remains pretty costly.

​

Despite the low salary level most of Muscovites are able to provide for their life hood and feel themselves pretty happy. One of the main reasons why it is happening is that most of citizens have their own flats and apartments and don’t pay extra money for rent.  Property rental is very expensive. For example one room studio 30-40 meters at the boarder of Moscow may coast 800-1000 dollars (USD) per month, while in the center the prices vary from 1500-3000 dollars (USD) up to 10000 dollars (USD) and even more.  The closer you are to the historical part of Moscow the higher price is. In addition new fashionable and modern buildings, which appeared in Moscow several years ago, with big windows, panoramic views, private gardens, parking , security etc.  are also extremely expensive.   If you want to buy one room flat in Moscow the prices start from 150000-200000 dollars (USD). 2-3 rooms in the center may cost around 1 million dollars (USD).

​

This results from the fact that Moscow is economic heart and the most developed city in Russia – the biggest country in the world. Many Russians want to live in capital. People from other cities make career and gain money in their regions and then decide to move in Moscow where now officially live over 12000000 people.  Prices and average living standards control overpopulation.  In other cities you may rent for example one room flat for 100 dollars (USD) per month and buy it for 20000-30000 thousands.
