David took the three of us to a local bike shop to rent bikes for the day and led us on a fun adventure throughout Albuquerque. He was very knowledgeable about the town and the different bike routes that would be enjoyable. Our first stop was to a quaint and secluded breakfast spot where we sat in a nicely shaded garden and sipped our morning coffee before heading out to a local winery, Casa Rodena. The ride there was nicely paced and I got to enjoy all the views. I'm not an avid bike rider so I'm usually in the back of the pack, but I never felt rushed or left behind. We rode through a quiet part of town and I enjoyed seeing the traditional adobe style homes along the way. When we arrived at the winery, we did a few tastings and then bought a bottle of our favorite one and sat in the back patio. The winery itself is very nice and peaceful. We all had a great time just chatting and relaxing among the shaded trees. Lastly, David took us to Old Town where we had a chance to stroll the plaza and visit the merchants. My favorite site there was the Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel, which has a lot of character and charm. I had a great time exploring Albuquerque on bike and would definitely do it again. David was a great guide and made our trip very enjoyable and memorable. My friends and I felt well taken care of and couldn't have asked for a better host!

Recently I took a bike in for repair after the chain broke and damaged the bike. Broken chain, wheel needed to be repaired, broken shifter, brakes adjusted.

They go above and beyond and if they find additional problems they will call to authorize repair. Highly recommended!

Once all participants were seated we were off to the first of three microbreweries on the agenda. Pedaling was easy although the contraption does have a small motor.

Our group was very young and they bolted the minute we stopped. I'll attribute that to their age but I would guess that they would know about gratuities by this point in their lives.

You drink beer and pedal around the city. It's exactly what Albuquerque needs. We decided that we're going to do it. We're going to bring the same thing here." Little did I know--little did she know--that a few people were all over that, already. The Duke City Pedaler had been fabricated and was awaiting a permit to roll around our downtown streets, just like the bike in Denver, sans one rather enormous component: beer. Simply put, the city won't allow beer on a bike, or a bus, or any vehicle on the street (Not in train! Not in a tree! Not in a car! Sam! Let me be!) and while I'm all in for the European laissez faire lifestyle wherein barley pops are available virtually anywhere (c'mon 'Merica, movie theaters, please) I'll take exception in this particular city. The 505 has a major DWI problem and I'm glad this fine example of ecologically sensible, fitness-focussed transportation doesn't flaunt booze. They don't need to. They offer fun tours of our brew scene on a clean, wickedly styled Route 66 cycling monster, and the exercise is enough to sober up any rider. They're also expanding the menu of tours to include coffee and growers market themes, which, were I living downtown (and a decade younger) would be right down my alley. My ride was themed for International Talk Like a Pirate Day and I'll commend our captain, the guy was totally on top of it, dressed and ready for the p-arrrrt. I'd absolutely recommend this bike for team building, bachelorette parties, first dates, whatever. It actually makes our city look relatively fun on a Friday night, which is precisely what we could use a whole lot more of.

Being newer to the bike scene, the store felt overwhelming as none of the bikes were clearly labeled, so I didn't even know where to start.

The staff seemed to expect that you already knew exactly what you wanted, which just added to how overwhelmed I felt. I'm sure they're knowledgeable and great if you're already deep in the cycling scene, but if you're newer or looking for a more approachable, inclusive vibe, this might not be the place
