MAY IS CYCLING AWARENESS MONTH!
What is CYCLING AWARENESS MONTH? In New Hampshire, during the month of May, a wide variety of rides and activities are happening all over the state to celebrate & promote the joy of bicycling.
As the statewide bike advocacy organization, Bike-Walk Alliance of New Hampshire is publishing as much information as possible about these great activities here on our web pages and also through our Facebook page.
Our BWANH CALENDAR or this page are good places to start planning activities you may want to participate in. Check here often, as this page is updated regularly. Let us know of events that could be posted here by emailing us at info@bwanh.org.
Below are just some of the activities happening during CYCLING AWARENESS MONTH (MAY)!

SMART CYCLING CLASS!
Want to learn how to be more comfortable riding in or near traffic, or just need some help getting back on your bike again? This all-day in-person class is for adults who have not ridden their bicycle for a while and want to start enjoying the benefits of cycling in the Monadnock region. The morning classroom session covers “rules of the road” (laws), ensuring your bike is ready to ride, and the use of cycling infrastructure in the area. The afternoon on-the-bike session is dedicated to practicing safe cycling skills in an empty (no traffic) parking lot area. A short group road ride is also included.
