Albuquerque offers a plethora of biking opportunities. Probably the most popular, for both road cyclists and many mountain bikers, is the Paseo del Bosque Trail. This is a 18 mile long linear park that passes near many Albuquerque attractions such as the zoo, nature center and aquarium. There are many other paved trails including Paseo del Norte and many "diversion channel" trails. All these offer paved trips for any skill level.

Mountain biking's popularity has grown exponentially over the last few decades and the racing sector has really taken off as well. Colorado and New Mexico are no exception to this growth. Here find multiple articles and links relating to mountain bike racing in this area for the end of the 2009 season.

Petroglyph National Monument offers a great opportunity other than hiking and looking at ancient art, mountain biking. The Volcanoes Trail as it is known is in the western most property of the Monument. Not to say that you can't look for petroglyphs from your bike but you might want to pay more attention to the trail in some spots. The trail does circle three, or up to five if you extend the trip, extinct cone volcanoes.
