FRANKLINTON CYCLEWORKS

A COMMUNITY BICYCLE SHOP IS DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR BICYCLE SHOP. AROUND HERE, BIKE REPAIR IS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT RATHER THAN A WAY TO MAKE MONEY. WHAT WERE DOING ISNT JUST ABOUT BUILDING BIKES. ITS ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND BRINGING A COMMUNITY TOGETHER. OUR SHOP SPACE, STANDS, AND TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF COST FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO WORK ON HIS OR HER BIKE. AND VOLUNTEER MECHANICS ARE ON HAND TO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. FCW IS A PLACE OF CO-WORKING AND CO-LEARNING. WE BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO LEARN AND SOMETHING TO OFFER WHICH MEANS NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, YOU HAVE A PLACE AT FCW. TOGETHER, WE'RE BUILDING MORE CONNECTED, MORE EMPOWERED INDIVIDUALS AND A MORE VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOOD. FCW IS ALSO A RECYCLING CENTER. WE ACCEPT ANY AND ALL BICYCLE RELATED DONATIONS REGARDLESS OF CONDITION. WE REFURBISH AND RE-PURPOSE WHAT WE CAN AND RECYCLE ANYTHING THATS NO LONGER USABLE. WE THROW AWAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
