The story

Moscow Night Bicycle Festival August in Moscow

The Moscow Night Bicycle Festival in August is the second of the city's two summer after-dark mass rides, part of the broader Velosezon cycling season program, typically staged as the season moves toward its autumn close. Like its July counterpart, it closes central Moscow streets to car traffic for an evening ride past illuminated landmarks.

By August, Moscow's cycling season has already passed through its spring opening, a children's-focused kickoff event, and one after-dark ride in July, and the city's Velosezon program schedules a second night ride to close out the summer stretch before autumn's shorter, cooler festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As the later of Moscow's two summer night rides, the August edition often carries a slightly different tone from July's, sometimes marking a seasonal turn toward the year's final festival, the autumn closing event, and taking advantage of earlier sunsets that let the ride's lighting displays and illuminated landmarks stand out even more than in high summer

02

The mystery stays covered

The format otherwise mirrors the July ride closely: closed roads, a marshaled route through the city center, and encouragement for riders to decorate bikes with lights
