Facebook Public Page: https://www.facebook.com/FalkirkBicycleClub/
The club owns a public Facebook page which is used to share information with members and friends of Falkirk Bicycle Club. This page allows people from other organisations or clubs (e.g. Scottish Cycling or Glasgow Wheelers) to be aware of our events. Simply “like” this page and turn on notifications so that you can keep informed of any updates to events such as Thursday night training or race information.
Contact: Stephen Dickson

Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FalkirkBCMembers/
“Falkirk BC Members” is a closed Facebook group. This means that only people on Facebook who are members of the Club and this group can see or post messages. Access is restricted to the current membership list and you can join by requesting to join this group. This is an easier way to post photos and share points of interest across the wide range of social media. We also encourage people to post items for sale for the benefit of club members. Remember that not every FBC member has a Facebook account so please bear this in mind.

Strava http://www.strava.com/clubs/falkirk-bicycle-club
We have a club Strava page where you can share the details of any rides automatically, simply by requesting to join the group. The members are restricted to the current membership list. This is a fun way to add a competitive edge to your riding by setting Personal Records (PR), King and Queen of the Mountains (KOM, QOM) and trying to get to the top of the leader boards each week. The aim is to motivate our riders to get out there as often as possible.
