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.

Join us for our monthly volunteer gatherings, held on the second Tuesday of every month from 9:30AM -10:30AM at the Asombro Institute for Science Education office at 401 E College Drive, Las Cruces. This is a great opportunity to meet other volunteers who have worked in the education and STEM realms, have a shared interest in promoting science among K-12 students in our local schools, and have a passion for contributing to the great community we live in! We work on a variety of tasks such as prepping materials for Asombro's education programs, compiling kits for teacher workshops, assembling items for classroom science experiments, and whatever else is needed to increase natural science literacy through engaging, place-based education!
