The following events are shared by club member Phil Posner, on an informational basis for CRW members. CRW is not affiliated with this event.

CRW is excited to share two fantastic opportunities for our cycling community to learn from one of the nation's leading experts on pedestrian and bike safety, Dr. Peter Furth. Dr. Furth is a professor of Civil Engineering at Northeastern University and a pioneer in bicycle network analysis—he's the mind behind the "Level of Traffic Stress" criteria and has developed innovative approaches to making our streets safer for everyone.

Dr. Furth will be in Concord for two special events:

1. Site Visit & Bike Ride with Dr. Furth

• When: Saturday, November 8th , 2:00–4:00 PM

• Where: Concord Visitor Center parking lot

• Dr. Furth has offered to join us for a ride around town to see firsthand the challenges and opportunities for cycling in Concord. This is a unique chance to discuss ideas and get expert feedback on how we can improve our local infrastructure.

2. Public Talk: "Can Bicycling Be a Normal Mode of Travel in Concord? Here's How"

• When: Thursday, November 20th , 6:30 PM

• Where: Goodwin Forum, Main Library, Concord

• Dr. Furth will share his insights on how communities like ours can make cycling a safe, accessible, and everyday mode of transportation. Let's pack the room and show our support for safer streets!
