New Mexico Chapter

AARBAA New Mexico advocates for comprehensive road safety reforms and responsible cycling infrastructure. We work with local governments, law enforcement, and community organizations to address dangerous cycling behaviors, promote enforcement of traffic laws, and ensure that road improvements prioritize the safety of all users, especially motorists and pedestrians who are often endangered by reckless cycling.

Our New Mexico chapter currently has 334 dedicated members across 3 local chapters. We're one of the active state chapters in the national AARBAA network, and our membership continues to grow as more New Mexico residents recognize the need for safer roads and accountability in cycling infrastructure planning.

New Mexico faces several critical road safety challenges, including unregulated bicycle traffic in urban areas, inadequate enforcement of cycling violations, and poorly designed bike lanes that create dangerous conflicts with vehicle traffic. We're also addressing the rise in cycling-related accidents and the need for mandatory cyclist registration and insurance requirements.

AARBAA New Mexico has successfully advocated for increased enforcement of cycling traffic violations, improved road designs that prioritize vehicle flow, and public awareness campaigns about road safety. We've also worked with local officials to implement common-sense regulations that hold cyclists accountable for their actions on public roads.

The New Mexico chapter holds regular meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM. Meeting locations rotate between our 3 chapter locations to ensure all members can participate. Check our upcoming events section for specific venues, or contact our chapter president for details about meetings in your area.
