The Share the Road Visibility Ride helps build awareness that bicyclists and motorists can share the road safely and that commuting to work on a bicycle is a viable transportation choice. Commuting by bicycle has multiple benefits. Save money by riding just one day a week and cut 20% of your weekly fuel cost and save automobile maintenance expenses. Fight pollution by using emission free transportation. Stay fit and use your commute time as your workout instead of paying to go to a gym. Enjoy your commute and arrive at work refreshed and full of energy; ride off work stress on the way home.

The Visibility Ride is a real-life, real-time demonstration of how bicyclists can ride with traffic safely. We bicycle together on the second Monday once a month to help raise awareness among motorists of the presence of bicyclists, of motorists' ability to share the road safely with bicyclists, and of how bicyclists behave while driving in traffic. The Ride is led by League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructors, and bicyclists that wish to learn tips for better commuting skills are invited to participate.

The Ride leaves the Las Cruces Railroad Museum at the west end of Las Cruces Avenue at 7:15am. The ride goes up Las Cruces to Espina, across to Kansas, up to Solano, continues to University, then back on Espina to Las Cruces and ends at Grounded on the corner of Main and Las Cruces at about 8:00am. We ask that all bicyclists wear helmets and follow the rules of the road. Join us for coffee at Grounded if you can't make the ride.
