These fixit stations are an important anchor as we work on improving access and use of bikes in our community,  said City of Concord Parks and Recreation Director David Gill.

“Shaker Road School eagerly partnered with Central New Hampshire Bicycling Coalition to host a fixit station. Developing a healthy lifestyle and promoting lifelong sports are two goals for our students, so helping promote cycling is a perfect match.
