PORTLAND GEAR HUB
The Portland Gear Hub is a non-profit bike and outdoor gear shop and education space dedicated to helping people get outside. We run bike maintenance education classes, adult and youth earn-a-bike programs, and other educational programming geared to get people outside. We also sell used outdoor gear and bikes at affordable prices, to make outdoor activities more accessible.
