Bike School
The Portland Gear Hub’s Bike School location at 85 Anderson St opened in May 2017 to provide a dedicated space for bicycle education and programming. The Bike School is situated in the East Bayside neighborhood of Portland, Maine. Across the street are lively basketball courts, playing fields, and a playground area. In the Bike School, we have five mechanic benches, each complete with a bike stand and tools. All of our youth and adult programs, as well as many of our classes and workshops, are hosted at the Bike School.
The Bike School is currently closed during COVID19. For our service, retail, and donation drop-offs, visit our retail store at 155 Washington Ave.

All bikes have a story. At the Gear Hub, we get to meet both the donor and the new owner of each refurbished bike that cycles through our shop and programs. This bike’s story happens to be mine (Ainsley here) and for me, this was the bike that started it all. It was my mom’s bike from the early 80s (originally with road handlebars) and was reclaimed by me from our family’s garage so I could commute to my very first bike shop job in 2008 at East Providence Cycle on the East Bay Bike Path in RI. This Univega was my go-to bike for the next several years for commuting, exploring, bike camping, and learning mechanics on. The scratches on the frame tell it all. It found a new home earlier this week and I know it has many more adventures ahead! Bon voyage !!! 🪂💥#thebikethatstarteditall #bikedonations #gearhubbike #gearhubgold #eastcoastgreenway #eastbaybikepath @ Portland Gear Hub
Aww Ainsley Judge Great story! Have to share the prequel! The Univega was my first “real” bike, a gift to myself from my post-college job. The ride was transformative compared to riding my old bikes! I have many happy exploring memories with it. Was thrilled when Ainsley made it her own, taking it on adventurous trips I couldn't even imagine. In typical Ainsley-style, I now ride one of her bikes, given to her by a gracious bike-mentor, that she up-cycled for me for Mother’s Day! Happy biking to the new owner. :) Thanks Portland Gear Hub & Ains for helping people create their own bike stories! #payitforward #thebikethatstarteditall #everybikehasastory #keepthecirclegoing #itsallaboutthejourney #momentsthatcount #leadwithbikelove
