CNHBC Programs and Events Annual Bike Swap ​ The Annual CNHBC Bike Swap is held on the third weekend in May every year. The Swap provides a chance for the community to get rid of that beautiful (but dusty) machine that’s been sitting in their basement for the last 15 years OR to pick up a great, used bargain cycle that’s already been evaluated by an experienced mechanic. All of the proceeds support other CNHBC programs and events. Bike Valet ​ CNHBC provides complimentary bicycle valet service at Concord’s annual Rock ‘N Race in May, as well as other community events. The valet service offers individuals and families the opportunity to enjoy the day without having to worry about finding a parking spot or their car and the chance to get in a little family riding. Film Festival ​ Every eighteen months, CNHBC holds a bicycle-related film festival (Bikes of March and Biketoberfest) as a way to engage a wide range of cyclists in a city planning process. The short films are funny, clever and thought-provoking, and appropriate for all ages. The film festival also provides information about efforts to make the capital region more bike-friendly and explains how individuals can help. Community Bike Grant Program ​ Each year, CNHBC offers grants to other community organizations that want to provide recreational and transportation value to their communities and help people to get out and be active in their communities. Earn-a-Bike/Safety Classes ​ The Earn-a-Bike program, currently in the developmental stage, gives people who cannot otherwise afford safe, reliable bicycles an opportunity to earn a bicycle of their own through community service and participation in a mandatory bicycle safety class Gotcha! ​ The Gotcha! The program is a collaboration with the Concord Police Department. Each year, CNHBC provides gift certificates to be distributed by the Police Department to youth who demonstrate safe riding practices. Recycled Cycles ​ “Recycled Cycles” is a collaboration between Goodwill Industries of Northern New England (Goodwill) and CNHBC. The two organizations have teamed up to recycle bicycles that provide low-cost transportation to the Concord community – and a job training solution for individuals who face barriers in New Hampshire. All proceeds from the sale of the Recycled Cycles at the annual Bicycle Swap go to support the program.

What to Do in a Crash Bike crashes happen in the blink of an eye. ​ Bike crashes can range from minor cuts and bruises to severe injuries. Whichever type of bike crash you are in; whether you are alone, with another bicycle, a pedestrian, or a car, you should be prepared for how to handle the situation safely and confidently so that you follow the proper procedures in the safest manner possible. ​ This step-by-step guide is to help keep yourself, others, and your bike protected in the event of a crash. 1. Stay Calm and Slow Down ​ Move off the Road if possible to make sure you and your bike are safely out of danger. If you cannot move, try to yell, make noise, and attract attention so that other cars are aware an accident has occurred. Do NOT get back on your bike immediately, assess yourself. ​ 2. Check yourself for injuries ​ Check yourself for any cuts, scrapes, broken bones, lots of blood, a concussion, or other injuries. If you have any severe injuries, call emergency services to get proper medical attention. If you are unable to bear weight or move your arms, legs, etc. then you should call emergency services. ​ 3. See if anyone saw the crash ​ Get details from the driver involved in the dispute (if the accident involved a vehicle), bystanders, other cyclists, etc. This will be helpful information if the crash was serious enough for emergency services to be called. IF A VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT: ​ Get the license plate number of the car, the driver's name, contact information, insurance, and the names of passengers in the vehicle. ​ 4. Take photos of your injuries and the state of your bike ​ This is important to do if legal action needs to be taken. ​ 5. Check your bike ​ Is your bike in rideable condition? Is anything lost or missing that would cause injury if you get back on your bicycle? If your injuries are minor, your bike is in operable condition, and emergency services were not called, bike to your location safely. ​ 6. Get Legal Guidance if Necessary ​ If your injuries were due to unsafe bicycling or motorist practices, please seek legal guidance. They will be able to help you move forward with the aftermath of the accident and determine if legal action must be taken. ​ 7. REPORT YOUR CRASH ​ Report your crash on our website so that we can help other cyclists be aware of the dangers of the area. We are able to compile the crashes to help advocate for more bike-friendly streets and "share the road" signs. Report your crash by clicking HERE . ​
