About FBL
T,he Falmouth Bike Lab is a community bike shop in Falmouth, Massachusetts and is a community outreach program of John Wesley United Methodist Church. We are focused on teaching people about the power of bicycles. Our programs are based on the community bike shop model that is found throughout the country and around the world. We take used bicycles that are donated to us from members of the community and refurbish them. These refurbished bikes are then distributed back into the community to people that can use them.
Our volunteers work mainly during Open Shops (Thurs 7-9pm, currently on winter break), which is the time when anyone from the community can come in, use our tools and get help with their bike. Swing by to see if our volunteers have a refurbished bike for you, or donate your time to help us fix one up that you can take away. Our goal is to make sure everyone in Falmouth surrounding communities has a bicycle that works. We seek to educate riders so that they can operate and maintain their bicycles safely and effectively. No bicycle experience or knowledge is required to be part of our team, only a willingness to learn and a desire to help others. |
