Central New Hampshire Bicycle Coalition has impacted bicycling in the center of New Hampshire through a variety of actions over the years.  These initiatives are the direct result of the passion of the people who are on our board or volunteering with us to make things happen.  Please consider stepping up!

Here's a partial list of actions we've taken.

Recycled Cycles - Goodwill Industries was looking for a way to train women reentering the workforce by employing them as bike mechanics.  We helped provide bikes and tools and equipment so they could launch this program which ran for several years.

Sharrow Stencils - We provided the City of Concord with Sharrow stencils so they could mark streets with this shared use markings.

Bike Valet - We've provided bicycle parking at community events.

Fixit Stations - We helped fund and install bicycle Fixit stations all over Concord and along sections of the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail.

In School, On Bike Bicycle Education - CNHBC, working with additional partners, donated bicycles to multiple school districts so area PE teachers could teach kindergarten and first grade students how to ride bikes. The program now reaches over 1000 students annually.

Demonstration Projects - Demonstration projects are temporary installations to experiment with alternative street configurations that promotes safe walking and bicycling.  They are also an opportunity to engage the community on the subject of safe streets, bicycling, and walking. If you are interested in a demonstration in your community or neighborhood, reach out to us to learn more. 

Funding Trail Projects - CNHBC has helped provide funding to multiple area trail projects including the Merrimack River Greenway Trail and the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail. 

The Annual CNHBC Bike Swap - This annual event provides the community with a way to get a new-to-you bicycle at affordable prices while providing CNHBC with income we use to invest back in the community.
