History

Volunteers began RUBARB in March 2006, after constantly collecting unused flood bikes, pulling them from garbage piles in the streets, and fixing them up for both residents and volunteers. Bikes that would have otherwise been sent to the scrapyard, are now being reused by many people in New Orleans. RUBARB has evolved into a full scale upper 9th ward community bike shop with open workshop hours, youth programming, afterschool "bike clubs" in schools, field trips and maintenance/repair assistance.
