After having biked in Moscow for two seasons my advice is clear. Rent a bike. The pros truly overweigh the cons. No responsibility for parking and locking. Rental tires can hit an endless number of curbs without going flat. And they are surprisingly comfortable. Not to mention the social aspect of rental biking - a number of curious moscovites and tourists alike smile and talk and ask a thousand and one questions related to biking. Or to dating. Beware that quite a few moscovites are impressed by your biking and would like to get to know you better. So the con of not having a higher gear than three might be a pro. How could you otherwise go slow enough to hear all the compliments..?
