Rules for cyclistsRules of the road is still very conditional regulate the life of a cyclist on the road. Ride normally through the city without breaking the rules, it is very difficult. Let's start with the fact that the city is not normal veloinfrastruktura. As with any Moscow cyclist, I sometimes have to break the rules. I would like to do this, but every time I become a victim of circumstances. The main thing is when you break the rules, remember: first of all - safety.

Riding on the sidewalk
The current traffic regulations allow riding on the sidewalk. Of course, it is necessary to go on the roadway, but there is clarification of the rules, "allowed the movement of cyclists on the pavement or footpath in the following cases: no Bicycle and Bike and track lane for bicyclists or not to move them, and the right edge of the roadway or the side of the road "
What is "not possible to move it," is not specified in the rules, so everyone can perceive it differently. For some it is parked or unmade shoulder, and someone just afraid.
I often travel alone on the sidewalk. The most important thing to remember: left on the sidewalk, pedestrians do not bother. Remember, you are on the sidewalk at a party, and we must behave accordingly! You can not rush on the sidewalk, pedestrians are zooming. You can overtake - overtaking. If people go to a dense flow, ed slowly behind them or get off the bike and his catty side. Sometimes I ask people to voice politely give way, if I see that the sidewalk in front of a blank and I thank then. But once again I try not to disturb pedestrians.
Terribly furious, when some asshole on the bike begins to forcibly pedestrians in different directions. Normal cyclists never do.
This, by the way, the SDA also has a point 24.6. "If the motion of the cyclist on the sidewalk endangers or interferes with the movement of other persons, the cyclist must dismount"

Cross the road at a zebra
Here the story is. You can not move nereguliruyumuyu zebra bike. I drove to the zebra - get off the bike and moved. What happens with the asshole who move on zebra velosipidite, you can see on YouTube, a bunch of commercials. If the traffic light regulated and I see that all the cars stopped, it can be a zebra and move. For example, long marches through the Garden Ring. Most importantly, for the motorist should not be a surprise appearance at your passing.

Crossing the road in the wrong place
Yes, you heard right, often the way I'm moving on a bicycle in the wrong place. All because of the lack of normal land crossings. It does not always have the opportunity to haul the bike into the underpass. We have to move the road. For example, there is a place in front of the Bolshoi Theater, where it is thus possible to move the road. There's a traffic light stops the flow of vehicles traveling to the Lubyanka, and can be safely migrated road. There is no question that the way to move where they like. All cases are unique and must be considered individually.

Riding on an opposite
In exceptional cases considered acceptable for a ride on an opposite quiet one-way street in the city center. It all depends on the circumstances. If you can not safely go on the road, it is best to move on to the pavement. But in general, on an opposite better never to ride.
Sometimes I break the rules in paragraph 24.8. SDA
Cyclists are prohibited:
"To ride a bicycle without holding the steering wheel at least one hand" - is, let go of the steering wheel to stretch your back. It's a shame.
"Turn left or turn on a road with tram traffic on the roads,having more than one lane for traffic in the direction "- sometimes turn left, after rearranging in series to rotate if it is safe and does not produce noise.

Well, a few tips.
The behavior on the road
Here the most important rule - all your actions should be as predictable! No neozhidannh maneuvers on the road should not be, especially when you are a small defenseless cyclist. Display your outstretched arm, if you are going to turn. Thank machines that have passed.
Remember that for many drivers on the road bike is still an extraordinary phenomenon. Even if you cross the intersection and you have the main road, it is better to stop and make sure that nobody goes, and if you are traveling, you will miss.
Highly I recommend to take care of their appearance. What is noticeable, you'll be on the road - the better. Good bright lights can save your life. Do not skimp on this.
Remember the rule of thumb - if you are traveling along parallel parked cars, stay at least a meter away from them! Sometimes the driver opens the door. It can be an unpleasant surprise.

Also highly recommend a closer look at the machines included turn signals, and especially on the reversing light at the parked cars. Sometimes it happens that the driver leaves the parking lot and you just can not miss.
