As of tonight, with the snow and black ice, I would say cycling in
anything like this might be contraindicated.
That said, it's a dry snow as these things go.

up at the depot in santa fe, if you want to avoid the airport rental fees,

unless the drought continues, dangerous.
Myself, I am not entirely sure I will be in town for that last Friday in
December. If I am, I suspect that at least Frank and I will get together
for coffee somewhere. I think St. Johns will be shut up like a drum and I
am sure they will have no food service. So, now is perhaps for folks to
propose alternative venues. Otherwise we are likely to end of at D.S.,
which has reasonable food and good coffee, but is likely to be nasty-crowded
on that day.

Hi Gary,
You sound exactly like me! I moved to London and never bothered to get a
licence, letting my NM one expire. I visited Santa Fe with my folding bike a
few years ago and it was actually really useful to get around. There's some
good bike/pedestrian paths nowadays.
You can see these at http://www.santafenm.gov/DocumentView.aspx?DID=2573.
There's also the Rail Runner for getting down to ABQ. It's pretty infrequent
though, only 1 an hour on weekdays but its something. All in all, if I ever
move back to Santa Fe, I'd try to see how long I can go without getting a
car.

I'm going to be in the Santa Fe area from 12/27 until 1/3 (first visit to
the states since I left in 2008), and would love to get together with FRIAM
friends, old and new. I know this is probably the time of least activity,
but I was wondering if there will be a WedTech on the 28th? I certainly
would like to get together for FRIAM - do you still meet at St. John's? What
time?
Also, does anyone have advice on how to get around SF (or between Pecos
and SF) without a car? I don't suppose that in the three years I've been
away that reliable bus service has magically sprouted. Or inexpensive taxi
service. I've gotten spoiled with the taxis in Quito, where a 15 minute taxi
ride usually costs under two dollars. This will be just about the first time
since I was a teenager that I haven't had access to a car (I let my NM
license expire, and haven't yet bothered with getting one for Ecuador).
Thanks,
Gary
