I was pleasantly surprised to find the state of NM allows me ride in the street with no restrictions if no bike lane is available. We can also ride 2 abreast Except in the downtown business district. I was also very surprised to find out no cars are allowed in the bike lane either to park or to use as a right hand turn lane. So Do I ride in the street with no restrictions? uhhhh no - coz the drivers here are basically nincompoops and I value my health and well-being! But when driving I will stay out of the bike lanes in the future if I'm making right hand turns.

The City of Albuquerque publishes a bike route map that they give out free which has all the state/city laws applicable to bike riders/horses/skaters. Cool idea!
