Did you hear that Broadway Bicycle School and Wenham, Massachusetts based framebuilder Christopher Igleheart are sponsoring a cycling team? It’s true.

Last weekend BBS rider Scott Glowa finished 3rd for the final podium spot in the Men’s 3/4 at the 10th Annual Chris Hinds FUJI Sunshine Crit in Charlestown, RI.

This weekend the team was racing close to home at the Blue Hills Classic. Charlie Schubert, also the Service Manager at Bikes Not Bombs, took the win in the Category 4 race by riding away from the rest of the field on the final climb.

The team is off to a great start this season! Look for more updates here and from the team on Twitter, Facebook and on their blog!

these moments cannot be staged.
