The Manchester Conservation Commission is thrilled to host its fifth free outdoor event at the Amoskeag Fishways, a unique opportunity for our community.
May is National Bike Month! To mark this exciting occasion, the Bike Walk Alliance of New Hampshire, in collaboration with the Granite State Wheelers and the New Hampshire Rail Trail Coalition, invites you on a thrilling series of guided bicycle tours along the breathtaking rail trails of the Granite State. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or new to biking, these weekend tours are designed to ignite your sense of adventure and showcase the natural beauty of New Hampshire’s trail system.
We urge the leaders of the City of Manchester not only to maintain all existing bike lanes but also develop plans for their expansion. These plans should aim at connecting existing bike lanes with other important destinations within our city, such as employment, residential areas and commerce, as well as connecting them to the multi-use trail system.
The tour is free to the public but registration is required.
