The Green Institute from the Center For Neighborhoods came by last week to talk bikes, bikes, bikes!
Factoid: Did you know that FCCBikeworks was a Green Institute class project once-upon-a-time?
Thanks to Bicycling for Louisville and our visitors for good conversation about sustainable transportation planning, how to get into biking safely, and how to make neighborhoods more bike friendly. We could talk about that stuff alll day long!

The trailer is rolling and we are taking her out on the town every chance we get!! The gratitude goes to:

Andy Dyson – carpentry
Gil Crenshaw, Andy Dyson, and John Krueger – welding
Braylyn Resko Stewart #Reskotattoo – design & painting

…….AND, of course………

the Kentucky Bicycle and Bikeways Commission (KBBC) – Paula Nye Memorial Educational Grant support!

In early October, FCCB rolled to Etown to attend the Kentucky Bicycle and Bikeway Commission Annual Meeting. We gave a little presentation on our shop and how the Paula Nye grant funds have made us stronger, better, faster, smarter! We met lots of intelligent Ky Transpo Cabinet people, made a friends, and learned about a variety of great projects happening all around our bluegrass state. Look at this map and give them some feedback!

On Thursday August 27 Flat 12 Bierwerks Jeffersonville hosted the first Indiana-Kentucky Bike Mixer

FCCB friends from the two states mingled, connected, and drank some good beer.  Visitors tried to identify 5 unusual shop tools that we had brought along. If they were successful they could entered in a raffle for a special prize.

In the month of August 2015, FCCB offered a full slate of learning opportunities! Besides our usual shop hours we held four free workshops conducted by famous FCCB mechanics:  1) Getting our bearings with Nad 2) Gears with Seth. 3) Cable Installation, Adjustment, and Troubleshooting with Nate and 4) Brakes with Nad.  After each of the 2 hour workshops the gang headed down to Dairy Del for a cool reward! A+ for everybody! 

October 20^th Falls City Community BikeWorks rolled out our mobile station to join UofL bike fixers for a couple of Bike Maintenance Workshops on the Belknap and Health Sciences campuses.

We were happy to be a part of the 3Points Block Party on  September 5^th!  Through the hard work of dedicated 3Point volunteers, our street has become a more attractive location. We applaud all they have achieved and were happy that we could be a part of the beautification efforts by adding a special green bike from by design artist extraordinaire, John Paul, to the mix!
