Gate City Bike Coop lives on bike donations from the public, but we have recently been swamped with donations. Due to our limited storage space we are asking donors to hold on to donations until after the new year . We apologize for the inconvenience that this causes our wonderful donors and thank you for your understanding.
Bike Distribution and Repairs
We are currently open by appointment only. We have stopped bike repairs and distributions until March 2022, except for emergencies.
During the year we set up in the Saint Patrick’s Church parking lot most Monday afternoons from 3-6pm. The parking lot is behind 35 Spring Street (across from the Nashua Post Office).
You will need a voucher from a local social agency and an appointment to get a bike. Get more information HERE.

We have 9 appointment slots available between 2:00 and 5:00 pm every Monday. We may have a small number of bikes available without an appointment between 5:30 and 6:00 PM. Those bikes will be given out on a first come/first serve basis. A voucher is still required. We recommend getting an appointment to be sure we have a bike for you. You can make an appointment to get a bike HERE
No appointment is necessary to get your bike repaired. Simply bring your bike to the Saint Patrick's parking lot between 3:00 and 6:00pm on Mondays. Get additional information HERE
We are continuing to look for a distribution space downtown and we are hoping to find an angel/hero/champion that has an unused space that they would let us use. An ideal space would be 1000 square feet but we could make it work with less. The space does not have to be pretty, just accessible and free or cheap. Please let us know if you have any leads or ideas.
We want to thank the greater Nashua community for your continued support. And a BIG THANK YOU to our terrific volunteers who make everything we do possible.
When Gate City Bike Coop provides a bike to this client it means they can take the job and can improve their life. The bike we provided to this client was not new. It had outlived its usefulness to its original owner. But with a couple of hours work we turned it into hope.

Volunteers, supporters, and interested people, please stop by to see what we are doing.
Working with groups like the Nashua Police Athletic League (PAL), the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter, the Boys and Girls Club of Nashua, and other local agencies, we get bikes into the hands of folks living on the edge, who use them as their prime transportation year round.
Many of our clients have no way to maintain their bikes. When the bikes no longer work, they get abandoned. We break that cycle by providing bike repairs free of charge.
If a high-value bike is donated to us, we might sell it to help finance the rest of the operation.
