The Kickstand Cafe on Alameda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2016, The Plough Hotel in North Canterbury, New Zealand banned Lycra-clad customers<\/strong><\/a> in an attempt to remove any “unsightly bumps and bulges<\/em>.” \u00a0The hotel owner declared Lycra “unsuitable<\/em>,” explaining “We get a nice group of customers out here, some elderly folk. When you’re trying to concentrate on your breakfast you just want to see the sausages on your plate<\/em>.” Then as if expecting a confrontation from the lumpy, bumpy bikers, he issued a challenge: “If there’s hordes of cyclists outside threatening to bash us with their bike pumps we can always barricade ourselves in, we’ve got a bit of food and drink here so we should be able to outlast them<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Lycra bike wear<\/strong><\/a> may not be de rigueur at Albuquerque’s Kickstand Cafe, but you just might feel overdressed if you didn’t squeeze into the form-fitting attire for a visit to the Alameda cafe. \u00a0And surprise, surprise, “elderly folk<\/em>” whom the prudish New Zealand hotel owner tried to shield from “sausages<\/em>” and other shapes and contours that leave little to the imagination\u00a0were well represented among the guests wearing second-skin-apparel. \u00a0It didn’t appear any guests perceived bike shorts to be ribald regalia. \u00a0Nor did we notice any ogling or lusty leering. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Delectable Donuts and Pastry at The Counter Where You Place Your Order<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What you will notice about a meal at The Kickstand Cafe is just how much you’ll feel at home. \u00a0If the parking lot seems rather sparse, it’s because many of the guests actually peddle their way to the cafe. \u00a0My excuse for not doing so is that my bike doesn’t have a basket in which The Dude can ride comfortably. \u00a0My excuse for not owning Lycra attire is that I don’t want other people laughing at me. \u00a0Besides, The Kickstand Cafe’s doesn’t need me to live up to an invitation to “send us your jiggly, your sculpted, your lumpy masses squeezed into Lycra and yearning to breath free<\/em>.” \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we pulled in to The Kickstand Cafe, we noticed huddled masses yearning to coo and caw at Cooper, the owner’s puppy who’s beating Parvo. \u00a0Cooper is all personality, a furry, four-legged bundle of love and energy. \u00a0With Cooper greeting guests, it’s no wonder so many are heading to The Kickstand. \u00a0Well, Cooper and a welcoming dog-friendly patio with plenty of space for canine companions. \u00a0Then there’s the food: a profusion of pastries, surfeit of sandwiches, bounty of burritos and lakes of lemonade to sate hungry bikers (and those of us who could probably disprove that tired old adage of “just like riding a bike.<\/em>” \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Restaurateurs will tell you the three critical elements to success are location, location and location. \u00a0To that end owner Emily Kitterman knew what she was doing in launching her cafe within easy pedaling distance from the Paseo del Bosque Trail. \u00a0The Duke City’s\u00a0premiere multi-use trail meanders from the north to the south edges of the metro area through the Rio Grande’s cottonwood bosque. \u00a0 If you haven’t got a bike when you get to Kickstand, you might be able to rent or buy one next door at Kickstand Cycles<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you load up on calories before a hard ride or reward yourself afterwards, Kickstand is your hook-up. \u00a0Open for breakfast and lunch every day but Monday and Tuesday, it’s got a menu sure to please athletes and athletic supporters alike. \u00a0One full page of the two page menu is devoted to beverages: smoothies, lemonade, specialty drinks, espresso and coffee. \u00a0When many restaurants have lemons, they use them for tea and dispense lemonade from a fountain spouting Coke products. \u00a0Kickstand uses lemons for its lemonade. \u00a0Would you believe ten different lemonade flavors: classic lemonade, strawberry, watermelon, mango, peach, blue raspberry, blood orange, blueberry, pineapple and cherry? \u00a0I’ve seen home aquariums with less fluid than a cup of Kickstand’s lemonade. Each cup is so much more than lemonade and ice. \u00a0The watermelon lemonade<\/strong><\/em>, for example, is brimming with chunks of watermelon and lemon, making for a tantalizing tart treat sure to quell your thirst after a long ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Watermelon Lemonade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second page<\/strong><\/a> of the menu is categorized into breakfast and lunch favorites: burritos, gourmet breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, quiche, breakfast street tacos, sandwiches and sides\/add-ons. \u00a0What you won’t see on the menu, but will get an eyeful when you place your order is some of the very best looking pastries and donuts in town. \u00a0They’re baked by Santa Fe\u2019s Chocolate Maven<\/strong><\/a>, one of the City Different’s most highly regarded restaurants. \u00a0On display within a pulchritudinous pastry case on the Sunday of our visit were Oreo chocolate cake, apple fritters, donuts, turnovers and more. \u00a0It’s a wonder there weren’t tongue marks on the pastry case. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple fritters<\/strong><\/em> are among my all-time favorite pastries. Resplendent with chunks of sliced apples and glazed with glossy white icing, this classic cousin to the donut tastes like something an extremely talented and inspired abuelita would have whipped up. \u00a0This apple fritter has a homemade vibe that is so homely and American. \u00a0My Kim’s vanilla cake donut with chocolate swirl stripes was sweet and rich. \u00a0Because we arrived at nearly 2:30 and the cafe closes at 3PM, our server approached us toward the end of our visit and offered us some of the left-over pastries. \u00a0I joked that we might have to return every Sunday just before closing time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Italian Press Sandwich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Though in a breakfast burrito mood before arriving, seeing some of the sumptuous sandwiches leave the kitchen bound for anxiously awaiting diners, my mind changed quickly. \u00a0Eight sandwiches adorn the menu, each served with your choice of kettle chips, potato salad, quinoa salad or fruit. \u00a0My choice was the Italian Press Sandwich<\/strong><\/em>, a pressed panini constructed with pepperoni, ham, genoa salami, mozzarella and tapenade. \u00a0It’s a just right sandwich–neither too thick or too thin with panini that won’t cut into your gums when you bit into it. \u00a0Best of all, it’s absolutely delicious with meats of varying degrees of saltiness and sharpness and mozzarella as the perfect foil. \u00a0The tapenade, made with olives, is salty, too which also makes the choice of mozzarella a smart one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the many things I love about my Kim is her innocent ways of defying convention. \u00a0She wanted a Cubano, but she wanted it with sourdough bread (not an easy bread to grill and press). \u00a0To be fair, the Kickstand offers several types of bread. \u00a0At least she wanted her Kickstand Cubano<\/strong><\/em> slathered with yellow mustard, piled with sheets of Swiss cheese, tangy pickles and smoked ham. \u00a0Unfortunately the Kickstand had run out of ham, so Genoa salami was substituted. \u00a0It was a good sandwich, but we miss the crispy exterior, cheesy interior, grilled and press perfection of a true Cubano.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kickstand Cafe is the place I’d hang out if I was a biker though you can rest assured you won’t catch me in Lycra. \u00a0The world isn’t ready for that!<\/span><\/p>\n
