FCCB was thrilled to work with Broke Down Bike Club, Hilltop Tavern, and New Belgium Brewing Company to staff a community tent in front of Hilltop Tavern for Cyclouvia 2015 on Frankfort Avenue on Sunday, April 19, 2015.
Cyclouvia covered by Louisville Courier-Journal:
BDBC President Matthew Glaser rallied his Broke Down riders to the event in spite of intermittent heavy rain throughout afternoon. Meanwhile, FCCB set up a bike repair station and aided cyclists with basic repair and maintenance tasks. BDBC and FCCB also teamed up to refurbish three bicycles which were raffled off to Cyclouvia participants at a price of $1/chance. The raffle proceeds went to both FCCB and Broke Down Bike Club.

Hilltop Tavern owners Erika and Mike Skelton opened their doors early for Cyclouvia and kept everyone happy with a variety of New Belgium beers on tap. FCCB and BDBC thank Hilltop and New Belgium Brewing Co. for contributing $1 to FCCB/BDBC for every New Belgium beer sold during Cyclouvia!
Money Drop Ride
A few days after Cyclouvia, Broke Down Bike Club organized a group ride to drop off the proceeds from the Cyclouvia fundraiser at the FCCB lair on Logan St. The weather was much better for this event, which attracted quite a few riders, and introduced some new folks to the FCCB concept and workshop space.
