About RIDEST

RIDEST stands for Rider Infrastructure, Driver Education, and State Tourism.

RIDEST exists to make New Mexico biker-friendly and biker-safe—not by adding more rules, but by making the ones we already have fair, realistic, and grounded in real outcomes.

Motorcyclists share the same roads, obey the same laws, and accept the same risks as other drivers, yet when crashes occur, riders often face catastrophic injuries, inadequate insurance coverage, and systems that fail to reflect the true cost of harm.

RIDEST is a statewide initiative focused on:

• fair liability standards when motorists injure riders

• accountability and evidence-based safety policy

• improved rider awareness and training

• support for injured motorcyclists

• and responsible motorcycle tourism across New Mexico

This initiative is being built deliberately, transparently, and with a long-term vision. It is not a short-term campaign. It is a commitment to fairness, safety, and freedom on New Mexico’s roads.

Biker-friendly. Biker-safe. New Mexico.
