The Paseo del Bosque Trail is Albuquerque's popular 16-mile multi-use trail, running through the Rio Grande's cottonwood bosque from the north to the south of the metro area. The trail is paved, uninterrupted by roads, and features parking and access points in a few locations. Along the way, visitors can enjoy public art at Tingley Beach, Central Avenue, and other locations, as well as the Rio Grande Nature Center and the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The trail is ideal for biking, walking, and birdwatching, offering a great escape with restrooms and picnic areas along the trail.

Road cycling

I agree with Alex although I would add that because of it's popularity, road bike riders who enjoy riding at a faster pace, get out there early in the morning. By 10am there are a lot of people on a 6ft wide trail and some don't keep an eye out for cyclist. I find Fri and Sun mornings most agreeable for steady cruising
