The Nasson Community Bicycle Center, located in the basement of the Nasson Community Center, provides young people an opportunity to earn a bicycle for themselves by building a bike for the community. Youths work with staff and volunteers to completely overhaul the bicycles. The Bicycle Center works with the Sanford School system and the Sanford Parks and Rec to provide bike rides through the Junior High Bike Club and the Summer boys and girls day camps.
