Who We Are.
Broadway Bicycle School started in 1972 as a worker owned and operated bicycle shop for people who are passionate about bicycles and bicycle riding. At Broadway we ride bikes for fun, practical transportation, work, adventure and our customers do the same. We cater to everyday cyclists: commuters, couriers, tinkerers, hobbyists, collectors, and enthusiasts. In other words, people who love to ride and who love their bikes.
A Worker Owned and Operated Co-op.
Broadway Bicycle School is cooperatively owned and operated. Everyone working here is either a co-owner of the shop or potential future owner.
Broadway was started as a worker co-op in 1972 b ecause the kind folks who started the project wanted to work in a democratic and egalitarian workplace. We enjoy working with co-workers as equals. We also maintain that a better business can be built by the contributions of a group of invested worker-owners. We feel we can provide better wages, a better work environment and better service.
