Black 4x4s. Overbearing sence of self-importance and disregard for law, manners and other road users or their lives. Often they are security/protection/bodyguards who will not allow anyone to get between them and their 'boss'.

Non awareness. In Moscow there is no awareness of bikes because they are rare - but as numbers grow this might improve. In deep country areas bikes are more usual and accepted as equal road users.

Yeah, these are exactly the things I am worried about.
I'm ending a trip in Germany in July and think I'll leave the bike there till spring 09 so I can get settled in Moscow, find a place to keep the bike, etc. Then I can ride from Germany to Moscow, so that will be fun.
