- Nasson Bike Center is looking for volunteers! The Nasson Bike Center is a resource for local youth looking for a bike, fix a bike, needing some community service time, or wanting to learn some mechanical and problem solving skills. We are looking for volunteers to mentor our kids as they rebuild bikes making them safe and reliable. We are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 2 to 5:00 year round.

Support Bikers and Walkers Safety!
Join us at this public meeting that the Maine DOT is hosting.
This meeting is an important opportunity to speak up for improving conditions for biking and walking on state roads! By attending, you’ll be able to support accommodations for bikers and walkers that may already be included in the plans for this project, or let the DOT know that you think the plans should be improved for road users who are not car drivers. The DOT seeks local public input on transportation projects before they begin work, but often they do not see much participation from the local community, so your attendance can make a real difference!
We encourage you to attend the meeting and spread the word to others who may be available to help ensure that bicycle and pedestrian issues are part of the conversation when it comes to transportation projects in your community.
