The Hub
Community Bike Shop advocates for the use of bicycles as an alternative
form of transportation.
The Hub opened its doors in
Bellingham, WA, in March 2002 as a self-supported cooperative run by an
experienced volunteer staff dedicated to keeping cycles in
motion. Unique to The Hub is its focus on recycled and
utilitarian bicycles. The Hub offers self-service shop space for rent,
high quality reconditioned bikes, professional full service tune-ups
and repairs, and bicycle parts for sale. Registered as a non-profit
organization, The Hub reaches out to the greater Bellingham community
by hosting such events as a Bike to Work and School Day Pancake Feed,
visiting local schools to teach issues regarding bicycling and bike
safety, and providing bicycle donations to low income families and
individuals.
The
Hub offers:
- Self-service shop for rent
- High quality reconditioned bikes
- Professional full service tune-ups and repairs
- Used parts and some new parts for sale
The Hub Community Bike Shop
fulfills its purpose by way of numerous volunteer hours, donations of
used bikes and parts, memberships, and revenue from sales and
services. People interested in becoming involved are
encouraged to come to a volunteer night and familiarize themselves with
the shop and our great staff and volunteers.
Throughout the year The Hub,
under its umbrella organization known as the Pedal
Project, sponsors several community outreach programs.
