Posted by Routes Bicycles on Feb 23, 2015 in Customer Reviews | Comments Off on In a Word: Awesome
I purchased my bike from Routes almost 2 years ago, and have had all my repairs and service done here. In a word: Awesome. Consistently good, easy to work with, flexible, friendly, capable… As long as I live in Albuquerque, Routes will be my go-to for all things cycling. Before purchasing, we rented bikes for a day just to try it out. And it was a totally joyful experience. I haven’t had the opportunity to take a tour with them, though I imagine that it’s as excellent as everything else they do. I have rented bikes in several other cities, and have never experienced the great vibe that I get just walking through the door at Routes. If you’re visiting Albuquerque — go to Routes. The location is perfect for cycling the easy Bosque trail, for visiting the zoo and bio park, for touring brew pubs, Downtown, Old Town, or Nob Hill attractions… I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Josh was so nice and helpful, gave us lots of advice about where to ride in the city and on the Bosque trail. He gave us a map, told us where to find water, bathrooms etc. The bikes were solid and comfortable, easy to ride. We are from Santa Fe so the advice for us out-of-towner’s was really useful. Kate C.

Posted by Routes Bicycles on Jan 24, 2015 in Customer Reviews | Comments Off on Best prices for bicycle rentals in Albuquerque.
I’m an advanced/expert mountain bike rider. I wanted to get in, get a bicycle, and get out as quickly as possible. No discussion on safety/how to ride a bike, etc. Routes was just that. I was in and out in about 7 minutes including paperwork. For $20 , I got a great mountain bike to rent for $4 hours. It also comes with a helmet rental and a bike lock. The bike was a hardtail, and everything worked beautifully. This will be my go-to place for renting anything cycling related when I’m in town visiting in Albuquerque. I recommend.

★★★★★ “Great Ride!!! Was in ABQ this week on business and after we were finished, it was time to play! My coworker and I rented bikes from Routes Bicycle Rentals and Tours. I read the reviews beforehand and they were ALL positive – here’s another one. The bike I rented was a Cannondale road bike. It fit me nicely after the owner adjusted the height. The bike was in the same condition that I keep my personal bike – perfect. No clicks, whirs or rattles. A nice bike. The owner was kind enough to highlight a lot of stuff for us on the free map she gave us – not a cheap photocopy either – a good, full-sized, color map. I took my own helmet but they would have provided one had I not. They also lent us a lock and tools and a frame pouch for them – who does that?! We only had time for a half day. $35 for a road bike for a half day is an AWESOME price! Wish we’d stayed an extra day because a half day ride around ABQ is just not long enough. We stopped at one of the sites she’d highlighted, Los Poblanos Farm – THE best gelato I’ve ever eaten! Nice stop. The roads of ABQ seem to be very cyclist-friendly, much more so than our hometown. We had no trouble getting anywhere and were only on a non-bicycle lane road for a mile or so because we chose to go that way. With the exception of ONE texting driver, the other motorists were courteous and respected our right to be on the road. In our hometown, you ride at your own risk – it was VERY nice to ride in a cycling-savvy town – real relaxing. If/when my travels take me back to Albuquerque, Routes will once again be at the head of my list of things to do. A GREAT experience! Thanks!” Rick D Jeffersonville, Indiana Visited July...
