Santa Fe has a new map outlining bicycle paths, lanes and streets where motorists share the roadway with bicyclists.

The 2008 Bikeways and Trails Map is free at City Hall, city recreation centers, bicycle shops and other local businesses.

Mayor David Coss and city spokeswoman Laura Banish rode their bicycles to the Mellow Velo bike shop Monday to unveil the new maps on the first day of Bike to Work Week.

"This week is an opportunity to increase awareness of cyclists, to encourage cycling as an important, healthy and environmentally responsible means of transportation and to support potential new cyclists, like me," Coss said.

The mayor said he has been trying to make Santa Fe a more bicycle-friendly town by adding new bike lanes and trails, creating more bicycle parking and putting down more sharrows — decals to remind bicyclists and motorists to share the road.

"They pretty much work," he said of the sharrows. "Nobody ran over Laura and I on our way over here."

Lucas Cruse, senior planner for the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization, said the new maps should serve as a "snapshot" of Santa Fe as a biking community.

"It's easy to look at this map and think, 'What can we do now? What are the missing links?' " he said. "I'm putting it to you as the bicycling community to get involved and look at this map and make the lines on it that aren't there."

David Bell, who along with partners Mike Judge and Art Pedley recently reopened Mellow Velo in a new building at 638 Old Santa Fe Trail, said he looks forward to Santa Fe developing a network of bike trails and lanes.

"We're all mortally terrified at what's happening with gasoline, but it just might change things the way we really want it," he said.

Bike to Work Week culminates with free food, workshops on bicycle maintenance and giveaways of water bottles, T-shirts and other gear on the Plaza from 7 to 10 a.m. Friday.

Throughout the week, bicyclists get free rides on city buses, which have bike racks.
