Fixit Station Overview CNHBC keeps you rolling with Bicycle Fixit Stations all over town. Sometimes you are on the road and want to make an adjustment to your bike. Maybe the tires need air. Maybe the seat is at the wrong height or a brake is rubbing. Bicycle Fixit Stations have a pump and a variety of bike tools to get you back rolling as quickly as possible. They even have QR codes that will connect you to videos showing how to do the repair. Local and National No matter where you live or where you're going there's a good chance a Fixit station is nearby. If your travels take you away from Concord there's even a national map showing Fixit stations across the country. https://www.dero.com/fixitmap/fixitmap.html Concord Area Fixit Locations Abbot-Downing School Located near the bike racks Terrill Park Next to the kiosk by the parking area.

“Recycled Cycles” is a collaboration between Goodwill Industries of Northern New England (Goodwill) and CNHBC. 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 can provide a complimentary bicycle valet service at Concord’ area events. In the past we have done this at the Rock ‘N Race in May, and Market Days in June. Our ability to provide this service is dependent on volunteers. Please get in touch if you would like to help provide this service. 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.
