There are bikes in Moscow! Not many, and even I wouldn't want to ride my bike on the streets. These two young teens just bought their bikes a week ago and were smart enough to stick to the sidewalks outside the Russian whitehouse. The summer weather in Moscow has been perfect - 70's, breezy and warm, no humidity. We didn't manage to take a boat ride, as we decided to take the metro south to Kolomenskoye, a wonderful park with historical churches and a few old log cabins that were one summer residence for Peter the Great. We were debating whether or not to enter the tiny museum, and Barry and I were speaking English, so the woman at the entrance was going to charge me the Russian rate and Barry the foreigner rate (3 times the price). Barry refused (keep in mind, it was $2 for russians and $6 for foreigners). I have to admit, I was impressed she was going to charge me the Russian rate.
