Lately, I have been receiving lots of requests for tips about bicycling in and around Kyiv. The best advice I can give is DON’T, unless you have a black belt in a system of close combat, like ju-jitsu.

Yet. Because motorists here don’t always want to yield the right of way, so you have to think about avoiding right-of-way accidents always. Don’t bother with hand signals because many drivers think you are telling them to fuck off.
