The rules for cycling are similar to the European / Russian model of the 90s, in particular: you can ride a bicycle on all categories of public roads from the age of 16, using a meter-wide lane from the right edge of the road. No documentation is required for cycling. In conditions of poor visibility, a reflective vest, a white light in front and a red one in the back are required. It is forbidden to move on the bike path faster than 35km/h; Bicycles are equated to electric bicycles with a power of no more than 250W with automatic shutdown of the motor at speeds above 25km/h. By the letter of the law, a cyclist must wear a helmet when traveling on the highway, but in practice this rule is not respected, and its enforcement is not monitored.
