Albuquerque, NM is one of the bike-friendliest cities in the US.
At least according to Martin Chavez, mayor........
In the real world, it is about the same as anywhere else in North America, everything is designed pretty much exclusively for cars and cyclists are somewhere between odd ducks and targets.
I use bike trails whenever possible, but they do tend to lure you into a false sense of security, bike lanes where they exist (and aren't being used as parking spots, turn lanes, trash dumps, etc.) and quiet side streets as much as possible.
Whenever I have no choice but to use a busier street (2 lanes +, posted speed limit 35 +, which in reality means 55+), I tend to stay on the sidewalk, which is technically illegal but tolerated.
Tolerated is better than dead.
And dead you will be if you insist on your legal right of taking up as much room as a car in traffic........
Granted, there's a lot of cyclists here who have no regard whatsoever for any type of traffic laws, regulations or signs (just like the drivers), so it's a sort of hate-hate relationship, not bound to get better any time soon.
