The Bike Hub

Thank you Martha Canfield Memorial Free Library and Lea Davison! We had such a great time!

The Bike Hub is excited to share that this Saturday, 5/30, we will benefit from Chipotle’s Do Good fundraiser!

Here’s what you need to know:

📍Saturday, May 30th from 4pm-8pm.

2️⃣5️⃣ 25% of the event sales will be donated to The Bike Hub. Sales outside of the scheduled event time (4-8pm) do not count towards the fundraiser.

🌯 Order in person at the Bennington restaurant, 106 Northside Drive, or online for pickup with the app.

🚶‍♂️‍➡️If going in person, you must either: 1) bring a copy of the flyer with you, 2) show the flyer on your phone or mobile device 3) clearly inform the cashier that you are supporting the Bike Hub’s fundraiser before you pay, or the sale will not count.

📱If ordering online: 1) use our code 6F6R6KJ in the “promo code” section at checkout, before placing the order. Don’t forget to click apply. 2) online orders must be placed for pickup at the 106 Northside Drive Bennington location. Delivery orders do not count towards the fundraiser.

Please consider grabbing dinner at Chipotle this Saturday to support the shop and the work we love doing for our community. A little secret: Chipotle makes for great fuel the night before a big ride, or as refuel after the ride! Share widely with friends and encourage them to come too.

One more rule: no soliciting in the parking lot or restaurant prior to or during the fundraiser. Spreading the word otherwise is fair game!

Thank you for supporting the Bike Hub, and we hope to see you for dinner on Saturday.

The Bike Hub has partnered with the Bennington Free Library to celebrate National Bike Month!

Patrons who check out a book from BFL Youth Services’ featured bike collection, then bring the book to the Bike Hub, will receive a free sticker of their choosing!

Important notes:
- The Bike Hub is open Wednesday - Saturday, 10am-6pm. Shop staff will be thrilled to help patrons select their sticker during the above business hours.
- BFL has more bicycle books available than are shown on display in the photos. Any bike or related book from the Children’s or YA collection counts.
- Anyone can sign up for a library card, free of cost, and use it the same day! Pretty cool, right?

Happy reading and happy riding!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our open house on Friday! We talked to lots of folks who came from across the state for the Walk/Bike Summit, and we’re grateful for all the interest and support we’ve received. What a great start to National Bike Month! Enjoy some stills taken before the shop filled up 😉✨

On Friday, May 8th, the Bike Hub invites you to an open house from 2-6pm. Stop by for some light refreshments. Learn about the Bike Hub and our mission to make cycling accessible to all. Our Bike Hub is Your Bike Hub! We look forward to seeing you.

Attention: Bike Donation Drive for our Bikes for All Program! On April 25th from 10-2pm, The Bike Hub will be at the Dana L. Thompson Memorial Park in Manchester, VT. From 11-1pm, we will have an open shop opportunity.

10:00 to 2:00 Bike Donation Drive
11:00 to 1:00 Open Shop

Directions for FPF: After entering the Manchester Rec Park off Rte 30, 1/2 mile west of the small roundabout in the middle of Manchester, look for the Bike Hub Tent (past the pool house on your right), behind the grandstand.

Bike Hub Open Shop is a hands-on, learning experience -- work on your own bike with help from Bike Hub Staff and Volunteers using our bike stands and tools.

Appropriate projects include basic bike maintenance such as: brake adjustment, shifting adjustment, seat (height/forward/rearward/tilt) adjustment, limited cable replacement (dependent on cable availability*), wheel truing, flat repairs (dependent on tube availability*), and assessment of overall mechanical condition. Occasionally, we will recommend actual shop repair -- dependent on required maintenance.

* The Bike Hub will have a limited supply of tubes and cables for sale at the event.

Learn how to fix your bike with help from a professional mechanic and/or knowledgeable Bike Hub volunteers.
