Nancy Owens visited our shop tonight and kindly donated several excellent bicycles and a few boxes of bike parts. We are happy for the opportunity to get these bikes back on the road again, and will be able to use the parts to refurbish other bikes.
Nancy’s comment: “My husband was a bicycle mechanic when I met him at Highland Cycle in 1983. When I entered your shop on Logan Street, I was overcome with emotion. My husband passed away in 2015. I hope you are able to use his things. I think it’s great what you all are doing.”
FCCB is honored to accept your donation, Nancy! Thank you for stopping in. And please visit again with any bike repair questions – we’ll be glad to help.

Pete Peters also stopped in at our shop tonight and donated a few nice vintage French bikes and a modern frame. (Unfortunately the Lance-era carbon Trek frame has a big crack in the downtube – but we can still use the fork, headset, and other bits).
We appreciate your donation, Pete! (and thanks for the heads-up about the crack)
If you are interested to help FCCB refurbish these bikes and others, please offer your time as a Volunteer! We can teach you the skills you’ll need to do repairs ranging from a basic tuneup to a complete frame-up rebuild of a vintage bike. Stop by for a shop tour, or send us a message via email or Facebook!
