Thank you to everyone who makes this important program a success: the students, the teachers & staff, QC Bike's dozens of volunteers & very few staff, the funders & individual supports, and of course, the parents!

This month, 157 fourth-grade students at Beech Street and Gossler Park Elementary Schools received either a refurbished bicycle package or sports equipment through Queen City Bicycle Collective’s Earn-a-Bike/Be Active Program, just in time for summer.

And this week is Earn-a-Bike/Be Active delivery day at Gossler Park Elementary School's Block Party! We love to do this work!

Dozens of kids at Beech Street School in Manchester now have their own bicycles thanks to their hard work in the classroom. FULL STORY ⬇️

Better crossing = better and SAFER bike riding!

Did you know the Goffstown Rail Trail has not one, but *TWO* "Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons" (PHBs) at the 2 Mast Road\Route 114 trail crossing locations? These lights help trail users cross busy Route 114 with greater safety by alerting roadway traffic in both directions that people are about to cross. It's useful to know that, once the device is activated, and AFTER all rail trail users have crossed safely, **if** (and only if) vehicle operators in the roadway are certain that no more trail users are crossing, or about to cross, motor vehicle drivers are allowed move forward once the red light is blinking mode. Steady red always means FULL STOP. Whenthe red light switches to blinking red, then **IF** no other trail users are in or approaching the crossing, roadway traffic may proceed. This page of the Goffstown Rail Trail website provides more detailed info on how these traffic control devices operate. --> https://goffstownrailtrail.org/pedestrian-hybrid-beacons?rq=beacon
