Bike Tire Pressure – How Much Air In Bicycle Tires

Many cyclists pump up their tires only when they become noticeably soft.

They pump them up until they’re hard.

Is this the best way to do things?

Well, not really.

For a start, it helps if you know how much air pressure is in your bicycle tires .

Monitoring bike tire pressure helps you optimize your tires for comfort and speed.

It’ll also alert you to problems like slow punctures or faulty valves.

This article will help you decide how much air you should put in your tires.

What Is Bike Tire Pressure And What Is PSI?

Bike tire pressure can be either measured in bars or PSI, but the latter is more common.

These units of measurement gauge air pressure inside the tire.

Air pressure gives the tire its shape and decides how much the tire flexes as you ride .

Since it uses pounds and inches, PSI is an imperial unit of measurement whereas the bar is a metric measurement.

One bar is equal to 100 kPa (kilopascal).

PSI (pounds per square inch) is the unit you’ll normally see written on the side of bike tires.

There will be a maximum PSI that you shouldn’t exceed if you want to avoid hazardous tire blowouts or tire deformation.

You may also see a maximum PSI on wheel rims, which contain the tire pressure.

Air pressure is directly related by Boyle’s Law to air volume.

The wider a tire is, the more air volume it has, and the lower PSI it needs to achieve the same “hardness”.

A lower PSI does not automatically make one tire softer than another (think of car tires).

Air volume is a vital concern if you ever think about using an automatic air pump at a gas station on your bike.

Those are designed for car tires with much greater air volume.

As such, they may explode a bike tire.

Why Is Bike Tire Pressure So Important?

Bike tire pressure affects three key aspects of cycling: safety, comfort and speed.

The PSI Safety Aspect

From a safety standpoint, it’s always useful to know if the PSI in your tires is too low or too high.

You can adjust PSI to suit various weather conditions.

Lowering pressure a little increases tire traction on icy roads, for example.

The weather has a direct effect on PSI .

If you pump your tires to the max and go riding in extreme heat, they may end up overinflated.

Braking heavily on rim brakes (e.g., on steep descents) also increases PSI.

There’s scope for disaster in certain situations.

Even in perfect riding conditions, a tire that is too soft and “squirmy” does not corner well and may risk the sidewall collapsing, potentially causing an accident.

PSI And Ride Comfort

Tire pressure directly affects ride comfort because a softer tire absorbs vibration from the riding surface.

Conversely, a tire that’s pumped up to a high PSI hits obstacles harder, causing discomfort as you ride.

One way that larger tires allow lower pressure is by their greater air volume and physical size.

That lets you run a slightly lower PSI without running much risk of pinch flats, at least on a road bike.

Of course, the chief benefit of tubeless tires is that you can run low tire pressures and the risk of punctures is inherently mitigated .

In theory, at least, any puncture is automatically sealed and you can continue on your ride.

The way a tire is made has a bearing on tire comfort and affects how much PSI you need.

With supple tires like tubulars or open tubulars, you are effectively riding on air.

The sidewalls are flexible and there are usually two layers of casing rather than three.

Supple tires flex more than vulcanized tires, even when their tire pressure is high .

And because they don’t have stiff sidewalls to help prop up your weight, it’s inadvisable to run them with a low PSI.

These tires give a plush ride regardless of pressure.

PSI And Speed

Tire pressure plays a role in your ability to ride quickly.

However, it’s impossible to calculate a precise optimum tire pressure unless the riding surface stays constant throughout the ride.

This is rarely the case.

On a smooth riding surface, a high tire pressure reduces the size of the tire’s contact patch and thus reduces rolling resistance.

This makes you faster.

However, a tire pumped to a high pressure on rough surfaces incurs “suspension losses”.

A nominal ideal tire pressure, then, takes the nature of riding surfaces into account throughout a whole ride.

Rider and bike weight also play a part, as this affects hysteresis losses and the likelihood of punctures.

You can take away something from this: maximum pressure is never the fastest choice on ordinary, variable roads or trails.

Try knocking a few PSI off for comfort and speed .

Bike Tire Pressure Chart And Pressure Recommendations

Tire pressure calculators and charts usually take your weight into account and the width of the tires you’re riding.

A common aim with these calculations is to create a 15% drop in tire height based on the metrics you supply.

The table below displays recommended pressures for a variety of tires at two rider (plus bike) weights.

It also shows how pressure drops with increased width and air volume.

Bike Tire Pressure Chart (PSI)

The PSI in the table assumes a 50/50 split between front and rear tires.

Some people prefer a 60/40 or 55/45 split, which means pumping the rear tire to a higher pressure than the front.

This accounts for the greater weight that the rear of the bicycle has to bear.

As well as rider and bike weight, any luggage or panniers you carry will increase recommended tire pressures.

Next, we’ll look at different types of bikes and their PSI requirements.

Tires on road bikes have traditionally been pumped up to very high pressures, dating back to when they were insanely skinny at 20mm.

Road cyclists for the most part ride on relatively smooth surfaces, so pressures can go a bit higher without causing discomfort.

The above being said, there has been a trend towards wider tires in the past few years, which can be nudged downwards a bit more in PSI.

Tubeless tires are also popular, and these afford even greater opportunity to run low pressures.

Maximum PSI in road tires can go to 140 PSI and above, though few would ride them at those pressures.

As mentioned in this article, optimum pressures are invariably lower than max .

Unless you’re riding on glass, that enhances speed as well as comfort.

Mountain Bikes

Mountain bikes have wider tires than road bikes, with widths that overlap in range with gravel and CX bikes.

All these bikes are ridden on rougher surfaces, which is why tubeless tires are common in off-road riding.

Many people run MTB tires at a low PSI relative to their max, though on rougher trails this invites the possibility of pinch flats or worse.

So, many riders use a higher PSI on bumpy terrain to avoid punctures or tire damage .

On smoother trails, you’ll gain a lot of comfort with a lower PSI, and if you pick the sweet spot you might get more speed as well.

As long as the trail isn’t too gnarly, this is a risk worth taking.

Hybrid bikes are intended to bridge the gap between road bikes and MTBs, so what about their tire pressures?

Well, a hybrid isn’t meant for rougher off-road stuff, but its tires are similarly sized to fatter road tires, gravel tires and narrower MTB tires.

If you run hybrid-bike tires at moderately low pressures on a smooth trail, you’ll gain those comfort benefits already discussed.

It probably won’t hurt your speed, either, as the lower pressure helps soak up the impedance of a trail.

What about a bike that was never designed for speed and always designed for comfort—the cruiser?

This is a bike that won’t be plowing through rough terrain.

Rather, you’ll be casually rolling along a beach or around leafy suburbs.

The balloon tires usually found on cruisers are designed to absorb shock or vibration.

Maximum pressure on modern balloon tires is in the region of 35-60 PSI.

As with all tires, you can run a lower PSI for extra comfort.

How To Check Your Tire Pressure

The simplest way to check tire pressure, albeit unsatisfactorily, is to give the tire a press with your thumb or finger.

It shouldn’t yield much.

Unless you have magic digits, this won’t tell you what the PSI is, but it’ll indicate whether the bike is rideable.

Video: The Human Pressure Gauge

You can look down on the tire from above, too.

It shouldn’t protrude much beyond the wheel rim if it’s properly inflated, though it’s very common for tires to do this slightly.

With standard butyl tubes in your tires, the amount of PSI lost from one day to the next is minimal.

Latex tubes, on the other hand, deflate a fair bit overnight.

The latter offer better ride quality, speed and puncture resistance, but they’re high-maintenance.

Tubeless tires lose air slowly as long as the sealant is doing its job and the valve works.

A better way by far to check tire pressure is to use a digital tire pressure gauge .

This will give you the tire pressure in the measurement unit of your choice.

And you’ll know if your bike is good to go or needs more air.

The downside of a pressure gauge is you have to keep removing it between sessions of pumping up the tire.

How To Inflate Your Bicycle Tire

There are a few simple steps to follow when pumping up a bike tire.

1. Choose A Bike Pump

When pumping up a tire at home, a floor pump with a built-in pressure gauge is ideal .

Outside, you can use a frame pump or a mini pump.

Make sure the pump you buy has the correct type of head for your wheel valves (Presta or Schrader).

2. Determine The PSI

Check the maximum PSI that should be written on the side of the tire.

Don’t exceed that when you go to pump air into the tire.

In reality, it’s hard to overinflate a high-pressure tire with smaller pumps, but keep the max PSI in mind.

3. Fix Pump Head To Valve

Now you need to attach the pump head (or chuck) to the tube or tire valve.

Take off any plastic cap.

With a Presta valve, you also have to unscrew the tip of the valve before it will let air in .

Depending on the pump you use, you’ll have to either screw the pump head on or push it on and secure it with a cam lever.

4. Inflate The Tire

Next, inflate the tire.

Aim for your desired PSI, taking into account the advice contained in this article.

When pumping up a tire, most of the air goes into the tire at the end of each pump stroke .

Be sure to push the handle up to the barrel.

5. Remove Pump

When you’ve pumped the tire up, remove the pump head from the valve vertically to avoid damaging the valve.

Do this briskly with a push-on pump head to avoid letting out air.

Tighten the valve head again if necessary and replace any cap if there was one.

Happy cycling!

2 thoughts on “Bike Tire Pressure – How Much Air In Bicycle Tires”

Hello Glenn,

I recently managed to find a pair of NOS “Vintage” Michelin “Select” 630 x 28 (27 x 1-1/8-inch) “Gum Side Wall” tires for my 1970’s vintage road bicycle. These tires, though not low cost, are in exceptionally good condition: no sidewall cracking, bead damage or other faults! This pair of tires are also the first of this brand, model type AND of French manufacture (bought from a seller in France) I have ever owned where the side wall indicates “Inflate To 90 PSI (6.21 Bar)” rather than “Maximum Pressure 105 PSI”. I presume that 90 PSI IS the Maximum but all the previous versions, sourced in North America, I have owned were Maximum Pressure 105 PSI. I am 68 years old, 5 ‘ 6″ tall and 178 Lbs so what precise “gauge pumped” and “gauge measured” pressure would you recommend for these tires? Cheers! John G.

I could be wrong but perhaps the lower PSI recommendation because they’re 28mm and perhaps you had 25mm tyres previously?

I would stick within the manufacturer’s recommendation. I personally inflate 28mm tyres to around 80 PSI and only reinflate every week or so. It’s more comfortable with lower pressure and often the benefits of any faster speeds is negligible, or even non-existent with tyres inflated to the max.

Let us know how you go!

A Complete Bike Tire Pressure Guide

The question “what pressure should bike tires be?” is complex, but using an appropriate tire pressure is a fast, cost-free way to optimize your bike’s performance.

Bike tire pressure significantly influences how your bicycle feels and performs on the road or trail . Traction, speed, and comfort are the three areas affected the most.

The ideal bike tire air pressure attributes to a comfortable, fast, and controlled ride, whatever conditions arise. Conversely, inappropriate pressure increases fatigue and the risk of punctures and reduces speed.

The factors that determine appropriate tire pressure in any given situation include tire width, rider and bike weight, conditions and terrain, and whether the tires are tubeless or not .

This article will outline tire pressure ranges for different disciplines and the performance characteristics and essential points for measuring and managing pressure.

Things to Consider Before Delving Deeper

What is psi.

Pounds per square inch (psi) is the standard international tire pressure measurement. It indicates the level of pressure and stress (caused by air) in a pressurized tube such as a bike or car tire. The alternative metric measurement you may see is Bar.

• Higher psi (more pressure) = A harder, rigid tire
• Lower psi (less pressure) = A softer, malleable tire

Why bother with bike tire pressure?

As we touched on in the introduction, tire psi significantly influences traction, rolling speed, and comfort. Each tire has a psi range indicated by the manufacturer, which riders should stay within, but either side of this range will produce different results.

• Underinflated tires = Reduced speed, more prone to pinch flats, better grip and comfort
• Correctly inflated tires = Fast-rolling, sufficient grip, good shock absorption
• Overinflated tires = Sometimes slower, less grip and comfort

Running lower pressure increases bicycle rolling resistance and traction because more tire surface is in contact with the ground, absorbing more vibration from impacts. Low PSI is beneficial for wet weather, rough surfaces, or sharp cornering.

Running higher pressure decreases rolling resistance and traction, typically increasing speed (on smooth surfaces). However, more vibrations reach the rider, reducing comfort and increasing the rate of fatigue.

Know your valve type

Know which valve type your bike has and use the correct pump.

Find out which valve type you have and choose the corresponding pump to operate it correctly.

• Schrader (cars) – Shorter, thick valve. Pump nozzle screws on to lock
• Presta – Tall and narrow. The top piece twists up, and then the pump nozzle is pressed firmly on
• Dunlop – Less common valve, tall and thick. Pump using a Schrader adapter
• Tubeless – Valve mounts to the rim. Connector varies

Presta vs Schrader Valves: What are the main differences between these valve types?

High-pressure vs. high volume bike pumps vs. co2 inflators.

High-pressure pumps –  For high psi, narrow tires (road). They efficiently resist the pressure trying to escape the tube while pumping, so you can achieve a higher PSI.

High-volume pumps – For wide tires that require more air. They are easier to use but ineffective for high psi.

CO2 inflators – Small pressurized gas canisters rapidly inflate tires without pumping. These are an excellent tool for roadside repairs but inefficient for at-home use as CO2 leaks quickly.

More doesn’t always mean faster

Wider tires with lower air pressure are faster on rough surfaces than hard, high psi tires. The suspension gains of low psi reduce bouncing by absorbing the energy of impacts, allowing riders to maintain momentum. Hence, most professionals are transitioning from 23mm to 25mm or 28mm road tires.

Image: conti-tyres.co.uk

As you can see from the image above, a 28mm tire at 80 psi has the same rolling resistance as a 25mm tire at 90 psi or a 23mm tire at 120 psi. Therefore, a narrower tire pumped to crazy pressures is not necessarily faster, even though that’s what was considered to be true for a long time.

How often should I check my bike tire pressure?

High-pressure tires leak air faster than low-pressure ones. Given that, here are some averages:

• Road riders – Ideally check before each ride or at minimum once a week
• MTB riders – Check every one to two weeks

Check more often if you ride frequently. 

Don’t trust the floor pump gauge

Most floor pump gauges measure the pressure inside the pump, not the tire. As a result, they give a good estimation but aren’t accurate.

A needle-style bike tire pressure gauge is the most precise measurement tool. That said, the gauge on a floor pump is adequate for most riders.

Recommended Tire Pressures by Bike Type

Various factors influence how much air pressure to use in bike tires, including tire width and diameter, bike weight, rider and cargo weight, weather conditions, terrain, and tubeless tires.

We will define broad ranges for individuals weighing 120 -200lb, adjust up or down for your weight, and the other variables. If you are outside that weight range, adjust further.

Each discipline has a range that maximizes the specific traits required for performance. A bike tire pressure calculator is the most accurate way to determine psi, but we’ve given some estimate ranges below.

Mountain Bike Tire Pressure

Mountain bike tire pressure is the most complex because of the number of variables, including tire widths (2.1″ – 2.8″),  disciplines (XC, Trail, Enduro, DH), terrains, and MTB wheel sizes . In addition, individual preferences contribute heavily to mountain bike tire psi.

The gravity disciplines require higher PSI to maintain rolling speed and avoid flats when taking big hits. In contrast, a lower PSI may be favorable for enduro riding on loose terrain when grip is a priority.

Here a the MTB tire pressure ranges in terms of tire width:

• 2.1″ = 18 -26psi
• 2.25″ = 17 – 25psi
• 2.35″ =  16 – 31psi
• 2.4″ = 16 – 31psi
• 2.5″ = 15 – 30psi
• 2.6″ = 14 – 23psi
• 2.8″ = 14 – 22psi

Road Bike Tire Pressure

Road bike psi varies a lot in terms of the total number. As most roads aren’t perfectly smooth, a mid-to-low road bike tire pressure can improve speed because grip increases, vibration fatigue decreases, and momentum losses are lessened.

Additionally, run a lower bicycle tire PSI in wet weather to improve grip or very bumpy terrain (cobblestones) for comfort. However, don’t go below the recommended range, or pinch punctures occur.

• 23mm = 92 – 116psi
• 25mm = 80 – 104psi
• 28mm = 72 – 96psi
• 30mm = 63 – 84psi

Commuter Bike Tire Pressure

Commuter and hybrid bike tire pressure lies in the middle of the road and MTB ranges.

Rider preferences and terrain are the two primary considerations; performance is not significant for commuter or hybrid riders .

Because performance is less of an issue, you can allow more flexibility in the ranges. In addition, many commuters carry cargo requiring an extra 2-4psi per 10lbs of cargo .

Maintain a mid to high PSI for fast commutes on smooth city roads; experiment with the lower end of the range for mixed terrain and frequent wet weather.

• 35mm = 50 – 80psi
• 38mm = 40 – 70psi

Gravel Bike Tire Pressure

Gravel tires typically range from 35mm to 50mm in width. While the sizes are similar to hybrid bikes, gravel riders run lower psi to boost comfort and performance on rough terrain.

Experiment with a lower psi to find the gravel bicycle tire pressure for better rolling speed, grip, and comfort on heavy gravel paths and mountain trails. The higher end of the ranges should provide adequate comfort and grip, boosting rolling speed if you mainly ride light gravel paths and roads.

• 32-35mm = 30 – 48psi
• 38-42mm = 23 – 40psi
• 45-50mm = 19 – 33psi

Fat Bike Tire Pressure

Aside from cyclocross racing, fat biking encompasses the broadest range of surfaces, including soft terrains like mud, sand, and snow or harder terrains like mountain trails and gravel.

For soft terrain rides , it’s best to use a lower psi so you don’t get bogged down easily and can maintain grip. Conversely, on mixed terrain days or regular hardpack riding, increase the psi to reduce rolling resistance and improve speed.

• 3.8-4.0″ = 4 – 7psi
• 4.5-4.8″ = 3.5 – 6.5psi
• 5.0″ = 2.5 – 5.5psi

Kids’ Bike Tire Pressure

Kids’ tire pressure should always trend toward the low end of the range printed on the tire wall. The lower pressure is because kids’ are light, and they benefit from the added grip and comfort of a low psi, promoting enjoyable and confident riding.

For more experienced children and those riding just on pavement, raising the psi to reduce rolling resistance on smooth surfaces is acceptable. Kids’ wheel sizes and weight vary greatly, so take these estimates lightly and consult the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Mountain bike = 18 – 36
• Hybrid bike = 30 – 60

Factors That Influence Ideal Bike Tire Pressure

Aside from performance factors, maintaining a minimum pressure ensures you don’t bottom out, and the tire bead doesn’t separate from the rim. However, if you go too low, you risk pinch punctures. Furthermore, don’t exceed the max pressure, or you may blow the tire.

Tire Size & Width

Tire size and width greatly influence how much pressure you should run. The wider the tire, the more air volume and less air pressure it requires.

The size and width of a tire change the total volume. The tire’s volume (how much air it holds) is the primary determinant of the psi.

H igher volume = lower psi.

From reading this article, you may have noticed the psi range decreases as the tire width increases. The same goes for larger diameter tires.

Manufacturer Recommendations

If you ever wonder, “what should bike tire pressure be?” each manufacturer prints a recommended bike tire psi on the sidewall. Always stay within the range provided to the abovementioned avoid issues when riding.

If you have old tires and don’t see the range, it may have worn off, so check the tire model on the manufacturer’s website. Place the pressure rating beside the valve for easier reference when installing new tires for quick reference.

Front vs. Rear Tire Weight Load

In general, 55-60% of a rider’s weight sits over the bike’s rear wheel. Use a slightly lower pressure (5%-10%) in the front tire to account for this.

Tubes vs. Tubeless

Tubeless tires are becoming increasingly popular across most disciplines, especially off-road ones (MTB and gravel). A sealant creates an airtight lock between the tire bead and the rim and ensures the valve stem is sealed and airtight.

Clincher vs Tubular vs Tubeless Tires — All Differences Explained

These tires don’t use an inner tube. As a result, they run at considerably lower psi without risking pinch punctures.

Bicycle and Rider Weight

When you sit on a bike, gravity causes the tire to compress. A heavier rider causes more compression, thus requiring more air pressure to counteract it. Adjust the psi higher or lower (within the manufacturer’s range) based on your weight.

Riding Conditions

The correct tire pressure depends on the terrain and surface. For optimal comfort and grip on rough terrain, make sure to decrease the tire pressure. Image: The Pros Closet

Different terrain and riding conditions require adjustments to psi. For example, for better comfort on rough terrain or traction in wet or muddy conditions, adjust the psi down. On the other hand, a higher psi will provide enough traction and comfort and potentially a speed boost on smooth terrain.

Finding the perfect psi for your typical routes and riding conditions takes experimentation.

Subjective Feel & Priorities

If you’re still asking yourself, “what should bike tire pressure be?” trial and error is the only way to find your preferred psi . Additionally, your preferences may change depending on the conditions, route, or how you’re feeling on the day.

Remember, the speed trade-off from lower psi is slight. If in doubt, err on the low end of your weight/manufacturer’s range and use a bike tire pressure calculator for an accurate calculation.

How to check bike tire pressure?

Connect your gauge to the valve by screwing on (Schrader) or pushing it down (Presta). It will then display a pressure reading. Use a needle-style gauge for the most accurate read.

How to put air in bike tires?

Use a pump or a CO2 inflator. Connect the head of the pump or inflator to the valve and either manually pump to inflate or twist a gas canister into the inflator which fills it automatically.

What is the proper tire pressure for a road bike?

The typical range for an adult road bike is between 60 to 120psi. See above for specific ranges based on road tire width.

What is the ideal tire pressure for a mountain bike?

The range for an adult MTB is 14 to 31psi. See above for specific ranges based on MTB tire width.

Tire recommendations (Trek Marlin)

• Add to quote

I have a Trek Marlin 5 that came with some XC-style tires that are really best suited for paved paths and gravel. I am looking for something to really give me some grip, but this being my first real bike, I have no idea what I'm doing. I like chunky tech sections but I ride just about every trail I can. For reference, I live in the Cincinnati, OH area. Anybody that has/ has had a Trek Marlin please comment what tire setup you had. I'm not on a budget but the cheaper the better.  

I live in southeast Michigan, so our riding conditions are probably similar: Dry sandy hardpack with some roots and smooth rocks. What tires are you on now? Sounds like you want something intermediate to aggressive. There are so many great choices, it is hard to make just one recommendation! For an intermediate tire: Specialized Ground Control or Purgatory. Not cheap at $55 each, but very high quality. I have a 2.1 Gound Control, and it is a great all-around tire. I shoulda got the 2.3 for the bigger volume, as i'm enjoying higher volume tires these days. Specialized Butcher is the more aggressive option. Very nice tire, but I thought it was slightly vague in corners compared to the DHF. Bontrager XR3. Cost is similar to Specialized. never tried it, but gets great reviews. The XR4 is the more aggressive upgrade. Continental Trail King (I think) gets good reviews. Performance Forte Pisgah II are excellent and very inexpensive if you can find them. I got several for $17-$24. The Maxxis DHF is a legendary front tire. If you shop around, you may get one for $55 or so. It provides incredible cornering traction, but is heavy and does have a mild learning curve. Vittoria has the Morsa. I think you can get the On-One Chunky Monkey for around $25. It is heavy, but allegedly has tenacious grip. And, about 100 others I've forgotten! Good luck! Bob  

Thank you! Yes, lots of roots and rocks here too. Right now I am running the Bontrager XR2's that came with the bikes. The trail king is looking like a pretty good option and definitely considering the DHF. There are so many tires! I found an XR4 for sale and I was wondering, does it matter if my rear tire is wider than my front? I'm thinking I can squeeze in a 2.3 XR4 or a 2.4 Trail King, but I am worried about how the ride would be with a thinner (2.2-2.3) tire up front.  

People usually place the wider tire on front for enhanced control. You can often do fine with a rear tire with less grip ( narrower or less aggressive), as it serves as a kind of safety valve: the rear will usually slide first, allowing a better chance of recovering from the loss of traction. If the front lets go, you are probably toast. Many also run a less aggressive rear as they tend to roll faster. On mine and my wife's hardtails, I have Hutchinson Cougar 2.4 front, and Bontrager XR2 2.2 rear. It is a very personal choice. I rode for over a decade on Hutchinson Python 2.0. Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and others. People couldn't believe I was blasitng Pisgah on those tires, but I was skilled, strong and young. Not any more! I still love fast tires, but more often err on the side of more grip on the front. You can also look at what people are running in your area. Bob

Two-Minute Pump-Up Inflate your tires before every ride for more fun The easiest way to keep your bicycle running well is checking tire pressure before every ride. Properly inflated tires ride great, last long and resist flats. Plus, keeping the tires pumped prevents wheel damage should you hit a rock or pothole while riding. Bent wheels hinder braking and cost a pretty penny to repair. Fortunately, checking tire inflation is simple once you have the only tool required: a bicycle tire pump (don't use your local gas station pressure hose because it can overinflate and damage tires). Bike shops sell quality pumps (about $30 to $60) that are easy to use and safe. You might also have a battery-powered inflator for your car that will work if it reaches sufficient pressures. It's best if your pump fits both bicycle valves (Schrader and Presta; the shop will understand) and sports a built-in gauge, which makes it easy to get the pressure right. Pressure Check How do you know how much air to put in your tires? On most tires, the recommended pressure is printed on the sidewall. It's often written as a range, such as "90 to 115 psi (pounds per square inch)," which appears on some high-pressure road tires. You can experiment within this range to find what feels best for you. Less pressure offers a more comfortable ride and more air means less rolling resistance. Many cyclists opt for the best of both worlds and run 100 to 105 psi in their skinny road tires. Find the proper tire pressure range on your tire’s sidewall. If you're inflating 26-inch tires (common on comfort and off-road bikes), you may find that the pressure range is wider, say "35 to 60 psi." This is because these tires can be used on and off road. For the former, 60 psi is about right because it rolls optimally on pavement. Off road, however, 35 to 40 psi is much more appropriate because it absorbs the bumps, rocks and roots better and offers greater traction for control and handling. Air Time Inflating a tire is as simple as attaching the pump head to the valve and pumping. You'll need to unscrew and remove the valve caps first if your tubes have them. And, if you have Presta valves (they have a knurled tip and are also called "French" valves), you'll need to open the valve by unscrewing and depressing the tip just long enough to let a tiny amount of air out (remember to close it after pumping, too). Then, attach the pump and start stroking, stopping when the gauge shows that you've reached the recommended pressure. Repeat with the other tire. And you thought bicycling only exercised your legs!

The Most Beautiful Stations on the Moscow Metro

You might have heard that there are some beautiful metro stations in Moscow. Soviet decorations, chandeliers, mosaic painting and statues are common in many of the stations. The good news is that the Moscow Metro does not cost a lot of money and many of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro are on the same line, so you can almost get on and off at each station to visit these. Over the New Year holidays, I had a free afternoon and decided to visit some of these stations. Check out what I found below…..

The main stations that you will want to visit are on the Number 5 line, also known as the Circle Line. An advantage of this line is that you can get to it very easily and quickly no matter where you are in Moscow. The announcements on the metro are in Russian as well as English so you don’t need to worry if your Russian language skills are not good.

If, like me, you arrive in Moscow via train from Kyiv , then you will arrive at a metro station which many Muscovites believe to be the most beautiful of them all…..

Kievskaya metro station was opened in 1954 and features white marble walls which curve upwards and have with large mosaics surrounded by a gold trim in a very classical style. The mosaics depict life in Ukraine and was designed by a Ukrainian who wanted to display Ukraine’s influence and contribution to Soviet Russia.

Kievskaya, one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro

People carrying flags is a common theme

Going into battle

Belorusskaya

If you look at a map of the metro , you will want to go in a clockwise direction on the circle line. So you will want to get on the train going in the Barrikadnaya direction and not Park Kultury. Stay on this line until you reach the 2nd station, Belorusskaya. This station was built in 1952 and like Kievskaya also features white marble pylons and a plaster ceiling.

The ceiling features 12 mosaics in an octagonal shape depicting Belarusian life, while the tiling on the floor is said to resemble a Belarusian quilt. One of the passageway exits of the station has a statue called ‘Belarusian Partisans’ of three men wearing long coats, holding guns and carrying a flag.”

Mayakovskaya

To get to the next station, we need to change onto the green line (line 2) and go just one stop to the station of Mayakovskaya. This station has an art deco theme and, for some, resembles an elaborate ballroom. The columns are faced with stainless steel and pink rhodonite while the marble walls and ceiling have 34 mosaics with the theme “24-hour Soviet Sky. Apparently, Stalin resided here during the 2nd World War as the station was used as a command post for Moscow’s anti-aircraft regiment.

Novoslobodskaya

It’s time to get back on the metro and return to Belorusskaya. At Belorusskaya, change to the circle line again and continue clockwise to the next station, Novoslobodskaya. With its 32 stained glass panels, this station reminds me of a church. The panels were designed by Latvian artists and are surrounded by a brass border.

The golden trim around artwork is also very common

Prospekt Mira

Back on the metro and again just one stop until our next station, Prospekt Mira. This station was originally called Botanichesky Sad after the nearby Botanical Gardens of the Moscow State University. The pylons are covered in white marble and decorated with floral bas-relief friezes. The ceiling is decorated with casts and several cylindrical chandeliers.

Notice the floral decoration

Komsomolskaya

On the metro once more and once more we are going just one stop to the next station – Komsomolskaya. This station is famous for its its yellow ceiling. The chandeliers in this station are huge. The photos below do not do this station justice.  For me, this station resembles a presidential palace.  You hace to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.

Because of it’s location, this is one of the busiest stations in the Moscow metro as it serves three of the main train stations in the city – Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky so be prepared for a lot of people.

The yellow ceiling seems to go on forever

Elektrozavodskaya

When you are ready to leave Komsomolskaya metro station behind, then get back on the circle line and go one stop to Kurskaya and change to the blue line (line 3) and go to two stops to the Elektrozavodskaya station. This station gets it’s name from a nearby electric light bulb factory and has a somewhat industrial but also futuristic style, with 6 rows of circular lamps (there are 318 lamps in total). I think this is one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro for how unique it is. The station was opened in 1944 after a delay because of the 2nd World War and features 12 marble bas-reliefs of the struggle on the home front during the war.

Ploschad Revolyutsii

Back on the metro line 3 (but in the other direction), getting off at the 3rd stop – Ploschad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). This is located underneath the square in Moscow of the same name and is a short walk from Red Square in the city centre. It is the perfect place to end a visit around Moscow’s metro. The station features red and yellow marble arches with a total of 76 sculptures in between each arch. The sculptures are supposed to represent the people of the Soviet Union and include soldiers, farmers, industrial workers, children etc… I noticed a lot of people touching the golden chicken in the photo below as well as the show of the woman. I am assuming that this is for good luck.

These are some of what I think are the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro. Which ones are your favourite? Would you add any to this list?

Kievskaya definitely caught me off guard. Didn’t know Moscow metro stations were THIS extravagant! Mayakovskaya is gorgeous too with the marble walls and mosaics. I might just need to book a flight over to admire all of these!

Do it! Kievskaya was my first introduction to the Moscow metro as I got an overnight train from Kyiv.

You know, in the States, all we ever hear is bad stuff about Russia. It’s nice to see other (and lovely!) dimensions of such a controversial place.

It’s the same in the UK which is why I prefer going to see somewhere and making up my own mind. It’s all ‘politics and bullshit’ as I say

I went to Moscow about 13years for Christmas and went to train stations, so I can see these amazing mosaics and chandeliers. I agree with you that are beautiful Stations for sure and I could of wandered around for days. I think Kievskaya is definitely my favourite out of them all and I even have some similar pictures as you.

I imagine Moscow would have been a little different 13 years ago but these stations have probably always looked beautiful

Food and Footprints

You chose some great stations for this write up! Beautiful details in these stations and would love to visit them sometime. Particularly like the Komsomolskaya station with that yellow ceiling!

Thank you very much. Komsomolskaya seems to be a lot of peoples favourite stations too

Sumit Surai

Wow! Without the text I would have thought them to be some museum or gallery.

I know exactly what you mean!

Rosie Fluskey

Wow, it is just stunning! How does anyone get to work with so much to look at. I’m surprised at the very bourgeois-looking Komsomolskaya station. I would have thought it was all too Tzarist looking, but then I haven’t been to Russia yet lol. This has just made me want to go more!

Wow, that’s a lot of artwork. I wonder how old some of these pieces are?

Generally most of the stations are from 1940-1960 approximately. The later stations are more functional than style.

My mother-in-law was in Moscow fifty years ago and still raves about the metro stations. So far, I could not imagine much. But now! The pictures are great and I think it’s almost a pity that this splendor is underground. But for every user of the Metro can enjoy a free trip to the world of art. Susanne

True. It is like having a free trip to an art museum/gallery. I hope that you can one day visit Moscow and see for yourself.

Oh wow, I would never have known that these were metro stations. The ceilings remind me of how you need to look up sometimes, even in the commuter rush!

It is true about life in general, we just go from A to B looking directly in front of us instead of around us

Wow, I would have never guessed that these were stations. The decor is so pretty and not one I’m used to seeing at metro stations. Love the ceiling at The Komsomolskaya metro station.

They certainly don’t look like metro stations. The ceiling there is one of my favourites too!
