Education Programs
Few activities are as enjoyable and rewarding as riding a bicycle.
Bike Newport offers a variety of rich cycling experiences for riders of all types. Whether you’re new to cycling, want to ride your bike to work/school or for recreation, Bike Newport aims to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the joys of cycling in Newport and wherever you go.
Bike Newport’s cycling education is based on the League of American Bicyclists “Smart Cycling” program. This program relies on League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) trained to deliver various course materials to increase rider confidence and allow safer riding at all levels.
Everyone’s Welcome!
Open Garages are community-oriented, welcoming to everyone and volunteer-driven to support a DIY approach to understanding and fixing bicycles.
Visitors can come in and use our knowledge, tools, and used parts for free to repair or build their bikes. The hope is that visitors leave with a new, affordable, healthy and fun way to get around town!
Open Garage
Community-oriented, the Open Garage helps everyone understand and fix bicycles. Anyone can come and share knowledge, tools, and parts to repair and build bikes for free. No mechanical experience is required!

Special days:

Earn-A-Bike
You can come to any Open Garage, volunteer your time, and then build yourself a bike for free using our collection of frames and gently used parts!
Donated bikes are always coming through with lots to choose from in different levels of disrepair – they just need your love (and elbow grease) to get them back on the road!
You can also Adopt-a-Bike for a suggested donation. Contact us for details
