This past weekend was a great one for Falls City Community BikeWorks. On Saturday, we attended the Flea Off Market and were able to find new homes for five bikes. The weather was perfect for a community event (mid 70s and a steady breeze FTW!) and we enjoyed talking about the shop to many passersby.
Our busy schedule doesn’t stop there though. On top of normal shop hours Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, we will also be holding the third of our Saturday Workshop Series on Saturday, October 15 at 11 a.m. This week, we will take a closer look at those pesky gears and shifters. Mechanic Andy Dyson will show you how they work, proper shifting techniques and how to adjust your derailleur quickly so you can get back on the road. Please let us know you are coming by registering on Facebook. There is a $10 suggested donation for this workshop.
Upcoming Workshops:
Workshop 3: Wheels and Bearing systems – Oct. 22
Workshop 4: 3- Speed Hubs – Oct. 29
Workshop 5: *Wheelbuilding – Nov. 5th ( $35 fee for wheel components necessary to build a wheel to be donated to the shop after clinic)
We will also be taking part in the Tom Owen Cyclouvia in the Highlands this Sunday, October 16. We will be selling bikes and talking about the shop in front of HopCat (the corner of Bardstown and Grinstead). Want to help out? Volunteering at events earns you stand credit.
