The 20th Bike Ride with the Rector is tomorrow 🚴

First off, congratulations to our giveaway winner, Michael Oladoye, who gets a free bike for the day!

We look forward to seeing everyone at the ride tomorrow! For the best experience, here are some tips if you weren’t able to secure a bike via the registration form:

• The route may include areas restricted for kicksharing services. To avoid any issues, we recommend renting a regular bicycle rather than an e-bike/e-scooter.

• Around the starting point of the ride, there’re several designated parking areas of SmartBike, a stationless bike rental service. Be sure to download the app in advance to check bike availability in advance.

• Another option is to rent from Velomarka. In this case, you may find it more convenient to arrive via the Begovaya metro station and then get to the starting point by bike.

📆 September 10, 6 PM
📍 Entrance to Primorsky Victory Park (metro station Krestovsky Ostrov)

From Colombia to Russia, Jorge Mayor is living proof that curiosity can take you anywhere 🇨🇴

Currently a software engineering student at ITMO, he’s immersing himself in a new culture, mastering languages, and exploring Russia’s rich history – all while chasing excitement at every turn. He even went on an expedition with ITMO’s archeology club Azimuth:

The entire experience lasted about a month and I learned a great deal from the team about ancient Greek civilizations, the restoration processes, the practical aspects of conducting real archaeological excavations, and how to conserve the site for future digs.

…and here are the snaps 📸

After the bike ride, we got the chance to catch up with Michael Oladoye, an ITMO Bachelor’s student who won our competition!

Here’s how Michael describes his experience:
Let me take you back to the beginning. Even before I got into ITMO, I came across a post about the last bike ride on their page, and from that moment, I knew – I had to be a part of the next one. I remember seeing the giveaway winner and thinking, “Wouldn’t it be amazing if that was me?”

Fast forward to when I got accepted. One day, I was climbing the stairs, and there it was again – the banner of the last ride. And, as if by fate, the announcement came that very week. Without hesitation, I signed up for the giveaway. And guess what? I won!

The ride itself was beyond words. Every moment was pure fun. I mean, the rector – he’s something else. Watching him effortlessly cycle up a slope like it was flat ground was insane. Super fit, incredibly friendly, and open – he’s the kind of leader everyone connects with. I’m convinced we’ve got the best rector in the world!

We took some amazing photos, and at that moment, I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be.

IT’s MOre than just a university, truly – it’s a FAMILY!
