The warm weekend opened plenty of low-stress bike riding opportunities, starting with some transit assist up to Central/Tramway. Once done with the transpo madness through Central/Tramway and under I-40, the ride mostly focused in a wander of residential streets on the “other side” of Tramway. Coming back down the hill, though, I discovered Brentwood Hills… Read More Low-Stressing on the Edges of Town

Riding a bicycle through Albuquerque streets is a case of going where drivers don’t and understanding the streets are all about those drivers. Example: This is Ocala St. S.E., almost to Four Hills in the far SE part of town. Maybe you live up there, or maybe you’re from downhill (west) and you’ve heard there’s… Read More Let’s Play “Spot the Route”

As has been the case for pretty much every GAATC meeting going back to when I served on the formerly named “Greater Albuquerque Bicycle Advisory Committee,” any attendee would… Read More Putting the Fun Back in Active Transportation
