Reuse Symposium at JCTC

CAM00575

FCCB participated in the Reuse Summit put on by the Partnership for a Green City and Louisville Metro Public Works, June 3, 2016 at JCTC – and with the way we refurbish bikes at FCCB, we had a lot to add to discussions pertaining to reuse!  Seth was there with the mobile unit demonstrating bike mechanics to curious bystanders while Jane answered questions about the mission and services of FCCB.  They made wonderful connections and particularly enjoyed meeting some of the security staff at JCTS.  They have a fleet of 10 bikes (with disc brakes!) they use to get around campus and connect with the students, and the fellow in charge of maintaining those vehicles was particularly glad to find out about our shop, its services, and that it is so close to JCTC.  He also said they find abandoned bikes pretty regularly and that he will be donating them to us in the future – yippee!
