As part of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan, the consultant performed a survey of citizens' current recreational trends and needs for part of their analysis. This survey provided limited insight into needed bicycling facilities. Of the 39 sports and activities that were questioned, 10.8% of all households in Las Cruces had at least one member who engaged in some form of bicycling activity. As a statewide comparison, a 1990 recreational survey revealed that the entire State of New Mexico had an average of 4.8% of all citizen's involved in some form of bicycling.
