We ride our bicycles as much as we can. Sometimes, we race. Many of us like long rides. It is a pleasure to be outdoors and moving under our own power. How else can you travel 100 miles with zero carbon footprint? We encourage, push, pull, and otherwise do our best to ensure group rides are nice group experiences. Group rides are, after all, different from races.
Safe cycling is also important to us. We work to bring cycling to the attention of the general public (ie. drivers of motor vehicles). We cycle in accordance with the idea that a cyclist is safest when he or she operates their bicycle like a vehicle on the road: predictably and obeying traffic laws. We do our best to acknowledge and communicate with the other "drivers" around us.
We think that cycling is really, really fun and we like being fit. Our sponsors assist in our pursuits and we do our best to assist each other. We are the Duke City Wheelmen and at least one of us is an ABQ native.
