Meet Tommy’s bike
Meet Tommy’s bike! Tommy is a new mechanic here at Broadway. Since he has started in April he has purchased about 6 new bikes- insane!Today we meet his usual daily rider.Hi Tommy- What kind of bike do you ride?I ride the Salsa Fargo. It’s a bit of an unusual bike- It has a 29er wheel set on a road bike frame. It’s designed for touring on places where there are no roads.
You updated it recently with some new bars I heard? Yeah I put on drop bars with bar end shifters. It cut a solid 10 minutes off my commute.
What do you like about your Salsa? Probably the best part about it is its versatility. I mean I ride it every day about 15 miles for my commute and this past weekend I went mountain biking with it.
Looks like you could fit really fat tires on it. Yeah I have 2.1s on it now but they definitely could be bigger. Actually in the front I have the enabler fork that is spaced at 135mm to fit in a rear wheel with a gigantic fat bike tire.
Now most people here at the shop ride skinny tire bikes, how come you ride a bike with relatively fat tires on your commute? It’s way more comfortable!

SAFARI, new art in the Door 3 Gallery
The Door 3 Gallery is pleased to present new works by the local artist, Nell Ma’luf in the month of July. Her show, “Safari,” features a series of hand-stitched meditations on time, memory, photography, and materiality. Please join us on Thursday evening, July 3rd for an opening reception from 7 to 9 PM, or stop by to view the work during normal business hours at the Broadway Bicycle School.Ma’luf on her work: “No matter what I’m doing, I’d almost always rather be traveling. From hundreds of photos, a handful end up defining my memory of a place. This collection of sashiko-inspired embroidery includes my favorite animals from safari in South Africa. The rendering is an attempt to make the images unfamiliar, so that I can re-experience the original moment of what I saw.”

Closing Reception for FEELINGS, this Thursday at the Door 3 Gallery, 7-9 PM
The closing reception for FEELINGS is this Thursday, May 29th, from 7 to 9 PM. Come on by! It’s a pick of the week from Big, Red and Shiny!For the month of May, 2014, space whisperer Liz Nofziger and neurolinguistic acrobat Heather Kapplow explore and invite you to explore the surfaces and interior machinations of Broadway Bicycle School’s most private and magical chamber.
Both ladies have done thorough explorations of similar rooms independently in the past, and now bring their collective force, not witnessed publicly since May 2, 2010, to bear on this worthy subject.
Their installation Feelings has already been in place for an indeterminate amount of time and will continue to evolve throughout the month, culminating (but not necessarily peaking) in a closing event on May 29th from 7 pm until 9 pm. But Kapplow & Nofziger invite you to visit Feelings anytime you find yourself in Cambridge and feel the urge to go.
Special thanks to Zumix, Linda Price-Sneddon, and to Todd Antonellis for his invaluable contributions to Feelings
