Falmouth Bike Lab celebrated our official Grand Opening this past Saturday at the John Wesley United Methodist Church! Thank you to all who came to help us celebrate! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather to be outside and were pleased with a turn-out of roughly 40 people throughout the day.
Volunteers were on hand to teach people about the services FBL offers and to help tune up bikes. Kids participated in a bike obstacle course and a slow race, trying out a number of different bikes that FBL volunteers have already fixed up into working condition. There was even an impromptu class on how to clean and fix a chain. It was a great day for the community, filled with fun in the sun, delicious snacks, and of course lots of bikes!
Thank you to all who came, especially our volunteers who helped with everything from bike maintenance to hot dog grilling to set up and clean up. And a very special thank you to the local Shaw's, Stop and Shop, and Windfall Market for donating most of the food for this event. Finally, another big thank you to the Falmouth Substance Abuse Commission for helping to fund the FBL program. We truly appreciate all your help!
