Albuquerque in da house

I think this is a great town to ride in. The city itself is laced with bike paths, bike routes. There is plenty of awareness and the pace of life here is moderate when compared to the big cities - so that helps a bit on the road.

Not only that but you get the benefit of training at altitude....umpteenth big mountain climbs less than an hour away (on a bike)....tons of sun.....mild weather.

I've also ridden a good bit in Miami & Tampa Bay, FL - Chicago, IL - Toronto, Ontario - and Spain. Miami was the worst by far for riding (with tampa a close second), a day did not pass when I escaped the shouts/insults of motorists on my commute. Chicago has some sections I liked, but it a busy town which is to expected for a city of millions - and look out for winter! Spain is a whole other animal altogether.
