Bike School
The Portland Gear Hub’s Bike School is an education and program space located at 85 Anderson St. in Portland, ME.
The Bike School is currently operating our highest need-based programs since the start of COVID19. We are currently operating our earn-a-bike programs, Bikes for All Mainers and Kids Bike Parties outside, and Youth Wrench inside. The MTB Skill Builder Series meets at different trailheads for each class. To stay posted on updates and changes at the Gear Hub Garage and Bike School locations, sign up for our newsletter here or check back in on our classes & workshop and volunteer pages.

One of our longest running and extraordinarily cheerful volunteers is back!! After a long pause from the pandemic Nick is back in his Friday Volunteer post sorting through a backlog of donated tents and camping gear. Stop by to hear him chuckle while sifting through mosquito nets and backpacks and see what used goodies make it to the floor!

This pearl Peugeot mixte came to our donation pile very rusty and dusty … but with some deep cleaning and polishing, a new upright handlebar, and matching orange grips it’s glimmering again! It’s a buttery smooth ride, too.

Celebrating New Bike Day with our most recent Bikes for All Mainers grads! In 2020, we opened Bikes for All Mainers up to anyone age 12+. Last year nearly 30 families earned bikes together by attending the class at the same time. In our first session this year we had a couple families and a group of high school students sign up with the help of their teacher. After one afternoon class, a group of teen boys announced as they mounted their new bikes that they were headed to the beach!! 🏝
🌊 Getting folks excited about riding bikes together is just one of the things that makes this program so magical. ✨
