how to organize an interesting bike tour around the capital – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia On June 3, the world celebrated Bicycle Day. And summer is the time for long walks with your faithful two-wheeled friend. “Evening Moscow” learned how to organize an interesting walk around Moscow, and the head of the capital’s cycling club, Dmitry Spivakovsky, helped figure out the issue. In Moscow parks you can often see people on two-wheeled mountain bikes in sportswear. Dmitry Spivakovsky considers himself a different type of cyclist. We ride around the city for fun, and our bikes are the simplest. In our case, the necessary preparation is basic - inflate the wheels, check the serviceability of the brakes. It is advisable that the bicycle have wings. In case of rain they will protect against splashes. If we are talking about a trip in the summer, be sure to take water with you - two bottles. Therefore, your bike must have a bottle or basket. Or you can just take a backpack with you. Don't forget your multimeter too. Using this universal tool, you can fix minor problems Dmitry exclusively in the center. Although he tries to choose places that are not the most obvious - monuments hidden in courtyards, beautiful but not the most famous houses. Each route is planned in advance. – I use a cartographer, build my route, choose points that we should visit. Everyone in the club has different physical fitness, so I take into account the terrain. Moscow is known to be hilly. We try to avoid difficult places. The cats are waiting for you. And we decided to support one animal shelter. We organized a charity race, paid for participation and spent all the money on cat food. Therefore, I also wanted to come up with a special parish. And we started looking for cats that are in Moscow: monuments, graffiti, sculptures, paintings on the facades of houses. I found eight such points in the city center and connected them into one road. The journey was difficult because the day was very hot. We were on Kropotkinskaya, in Catherine Park, and on the Patriarch's Ponds. In places where churches once stood, many were destroyed. I was looking for exactly those buildings from which at least something had been preserved. I spent about a month searching. I learned that in the Proletarskaya metro area there is a hostel in the courtyard, in which the entrance vestibule and apse - a semicircular extension - have been preserved. Previously, it was an Old Believer church. And next to the Dobryninskaya metro station there are two similar buildings. Welcome. From Novokuznetskaya you can walk to Derbenevskaya embankment. And then to the distant Nagatinskaya water. There, Beaver Island was formed as a result of the construction of the Perervinsky hydroelectric complex in 1937. Over time, it began to be overgrown with trees, and beavers settled on it - Some travelers arrange an adventure for themselves: they move to Beaver Island. and spend the night according to the eras of the capital, Dmitry Spivakovsky dedicated the roads to Moscow skyscrapers. – Leave the center, move to Bolshoy Gnezdnikovsky Lane. Here is the Nirnzee House, Moscow's first skyscraper, built in 1912. In those days they were called skyscrapers. Further from Tverskaya you will go to the Moscow shopping center and look at the modern skyscrapers. Another route through the architectural sights of the city is called “Three Houses on Leningradka”. – You will visit the stables of Leon Montashev - he was a very rich pre-revolutionary tycoon. He built himself stables that looked like a real palace. You will drive right past them and see the infiltrated House. This is the first panel house in Moscow built in pre-war times. And there is a house of aviators nearby, a house on legs. In one short trip you will see three eras simultaneously. DIRECT SPEAK Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport: – This season even more city bicycles have become available to Muscovites. For the convenience of users, there are advantageous offers, for example, free travel with a Troika card and a Moskvich student card, as well as a MultiTransport subscription. On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, we continue to improve the infrastructure and availability of bike sharing. Source link Source link

An interesting story about modern relations – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia So, something happened that sooner or later happens to all girls if you even occasionally use acquaintances. You are in love with the doorman. And no, it turns out they are not extinct yet. I’ll make a reservation: the correspondence was in order. Where necessary - a joke, where necessary - a little flirtatiously, lightly, naturally, so as not to worry. Even if it doesn't work out, at least I'll have a good evening. Chuika reported a success rate of 95%. But my instincts were wrong. It all started when he approached me 15 minutes late. The guy is almost a head shorter than me. And no, I have nothing against short guys, but if you say in a text message that you are 180, but in fact I can easily see the top of your head, although 165 in itself is a lie, and I don’t like lies. Well, there's no point in lying if I'll see everything anyway when we meet. Did you think that I would swallow and we would continue our date? Okay, I swallowed it. Continuation of the date. I could barely resist giving myself a fatherly pat on the head as he hugged me, burying his face in his chest. Like mother and son, by God. So the second red flag immediately followed. You know, there is such a thing as a pick-up artist, when you seem to give a compliment to a girl, but in some sense it is insulting, humiliating. Like, “the legs are beautiful. It’s a pity that you dress them in such collective sandals.” Or “oh, what deep blue eyes, you can’t even tell they’re squinting a little. And the eye is distracted from the long nose.” So, he only scattered them along the road. Out of place and out of place. And when he called me a scary, toothy (sorry, I only got my braces off two years ago) big guy, I couldn’t stand it and answered, saying that if he continues, I’ll wash him. , like Snow White Grumpy, if you watched this cartoon and dried it off. I hoped for his self-deprecation. Who, judging by the silence and sad face, was not there. After snoring for a while and apparently calming down, he offered to sit on the bench. Despite the still excited laughter he sparked in me, I still refrained from making jokes about short legs. We only walked a little, and I wasn’t even tired. And his hand, of course, immediately appeared on my shoulder. At the same time, due to his height, he was forced to make this gesture due to some inconvenience, since he had to straighten up and sit higher on the bench. So we were worried for some time: he stood up to move his hand further, I walked away, casually trying to somehow communicate, almost completely continuing the conversation, receiving only scattered monosyllabic answers. He, like a child, reached for the candy, ignoring all attempts to distract him with conversations. He also had small hands, and when I threw them away with my hand again, I finally felt like a giant. Sweaty palms. And when he finally reached the collarbones, I resolutely moved away and a conversation went something like this: “Maybe you’ll stop trampling on me?” Yes, that’s it, calm down.” Let's move on - Communicate? Or rise? - Yes, everything is fine, relax. And I'm not exaggerating now. He really just rejected all my statements of facts in the spirit of “no, everything is fine, it seems to you.” And he moved forward again. - You are so impenetrable, soon you will have 40 cats left - Impenetrable? That is, you don’t realize that we have no connection at all, the conversation is not appropriate, there is a lot of tension, and yet you go stomping “Are you first? “Everything was fine with me before you.” That's it, baby, relax. I can’t guarantee the accuracy of the conversation, but the word SMALL sounded just right. I couldn't help but laugh. It's hard to hold back when people call you "little" while looking at you. - That's all. For you chicks, all that matters is height. insult and irritate?” You love riddles, the guy loves to read a book. And if you throw all this away, then interest will disappear and you will run away to someone else “And many people are so interested in you?” Wow, the porter's mask has really fallen off and I see the real him - So, let's try to communicate normally, because if you continue to be rude, we will end this, and then he will put both hands on his back. bench, assumes the alpha male pose and says, “My girls usually finish first.” If you know what I mean, we high-fived each other and I, amazed at his composure, slowly walked home. By the way, he texted me all evening until I finally blocked him, secretly wiping away my tears. And I will dream about his hands at night for a long time... Source link Source link
