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 only open for our hosted Programs and Classes. For our regular retail hours and donation drop-offs, visit our retail store at 155 Washington Ave.

Just added! These bikes showcase some of the fun, creative spirit of our Gear Hub mechanics- always rebuilding and reimagining an old frame into something new. The bikes get refreshed with donated forks, handlebars, derailleurs, tires, and a sprinkling of new parts. ✨Available on our website and ready (again) for the next adventure. 🌎THANKS to all of you for keeping this recycling circle going, even in the most stressful of times. 🔄🌀♻️♾
Again, be safe and use your distance while riding. 🙏 #communitysupport #recycle #ridebikes #thankyouforyourdonations @camp_ketcha @ Portland Gear Hub
"Steps for Mainers to Follow Before Heading Outdoors"
🌻Know What’s Close to Home: Consider visiting a nearby Wildlife Management Area, or a less-trafficked state park, public land, or local land trust (Maine Trail Finder is a great resource!)
🌿Pack snacks and water: Do what you can to avoid having to make stops along the way.
🚴♀️Don’t take risks: Stick to easier terrain to avoid injuries, which add stress on first responders and medical resources.
🦉Practice social distancing: Stay at least six feet away from other people who do not live in your household. If necessary, step aside when passing other people on the trail. And remember that groups of 10 or more are prohibited.

We’ve been selling our single speed kids bikes with coaster brakes for $25 since we opened the Gear Hub 6 years ago. Volunteers help us clean, repair, and restore these bikes so that more kids can experience the fun and freedom of biking without a steep price.
These bikes are selling fast online, so THANK YOU for your support ! We’ll do our best to keep up with the listings and please enjoy the fresh air and stay healthy and safe! 🌳 🚲 🌞
