DETAILS

The Gear Hub refurbishes and redistributes outdoor gear and bikes to increase equitable access to affordable, reliable gear and lower the barrier of entry for those interested in outdoor recreation and/or sustainable transportation. The Gear Hub provides free and low-cost bicycle maintenance classes for youth and adults. We partner with volunteer groups and over 450 individual volunteers who help disassemble bikes to provide an inventory of used parts that allow for bikes to be rebuilt for both retail and programs. The Portland Gear Hub provides hundreds of refurbished bicycles to individuals and families annually. Donations are strongly encouraged. All donations will support the Gear Hub and its work in providing free and low-cost bikes and outdoor gear to all members of the Maine community.
