Sides and undersides of ABQ on a bike

Who Are ABQ Bike Lanes Really For?

Riding down the bike lane on Indian School from just west of Tramway all the way to Broadway this past weekend, I got to thinking about whether bike lanes actually encourage more folks to bike. Of course, one is not supposed to be thinking about anything other than staying alive when biking in the street,… Read More Who Are ABQ Bike Lanes Really For?

Low-Stressing on the Edges of Town

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.

Riding to Where the River Comes to You

I’d be here to tell everybody they should get off the Bosque Path (Riverside Trail, many other names), but it’s kinda nice when most everyone is on the Path and you’re not.

Running Over Some Nice Folks at Alcalde Pl. & Tingley Dr.

It’s a ABQ cycling case of “If you know, you know.” How many of you out there get a wry, bordering on sinister smile in response to this: You’re cycling westbound on Alcalde. You know the Bosque Path is just over that rise. How do you cycle to get to the Path? That’s right, you… Read More Running Over Some Nice Folks at Alcalde Pl. & Tingley Dr.
