| Believe it or not, some bicycles are utility vehicles. Here I am on my way to La Montanita to shop |
With her recent public order, Gov. Lujan-Grisham and her Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel did not include bike shops in its list of essential services alongside auto repair, auto parts shops, etc. Several local advocacy groups as well as the League of American Bicyclists are attempting to change this.
So although bicycling for exercise should be limited right now to avoid interacting with others or crashing and ending up in an overtaxed ER, and group rides forbidden for enforcing physical distancing from each other, being able to use your bicycle as transportation, especially if you are car-free or short on gas money, is essential. Hence the need for mechanical support, parts, and supplies as needed to keep the rubber side down and the helmet from hitting asphalt due to a broken or maladjusted whatchamacallit.
One additional resource is the list of LCI's who can help with an ABC Quick Check which, by the way, you can also do yourself. In that link as demonstrated by CycleLorax.
Hence this message from Ken McLeod at the LAB.

Hi Khal,
I'd also like you to know that we created a campaign page for people to direct messages to the Governor on this issue:
Please feel free to circulate as you see fit.
Best,
KEN MCLEOD, Policy Director
