On March 16, Tim Johnson and a dedicated crew of riders, racers and advocates departed Boston on their bikes to ride to the National Bike Summit in Washington D.C. Their goal – to raise funds and awareness for the Bikes Belong Foundation, one of the most effective non-profits in America. Bikes Belong manages to convert every dollar it receives into $1,800 in government funding for bike paths, bike lanes, bike programs and bike facilities. Visit www.bikesbelong.org for more information.
To continue the momentum and give something back to folks who’ve donated, the team will be hosting an after party reception at the Broadway Bicycle School in Cambridge, Mass. During the evening folks will have a chance to win some amazing raffle prizes including:
$200 in Gift certificates to Broadway Bicycle School
A hand-built set of wheels (You provide rims and hubs, I provide spokes and labor – $200 value)
A bunch of awesome bike commuting accessories courtesy of Seattle Bicycle Supply
And more stuff on the way…
Show your support and come on by for a really fun night with some truly inspiring people!

HURRY HURRY — only two weeks remaining to sign up for our fantastic fun classes starting the first week of April!
Our basic class is designed for those just starting out. We focus on the foundation, making sure you understand how the different systems of your own bike work! We cover practical topics so you can apply your new skills right away. By the end of this class, you will know how to fix a flat, keep your brakes braking and gears shifting. You will be introduced to your drivetrain and learn how bearings keep your wheels spinning.
For those who’ve been wrenching or graduates of our basic class – you can take your skills further with our Advanced series. Learn the subtlety of wheel truing. Dive into the inner workings of your headset, your hubs and the mysterious front derailleur. This class is full of grease and do it yourself adventure.
Like our morning cup of joe, the Wheelbuilding class is full. If you want to get a heads up next time – give us a call and we’ll let you know as soon as the next one is scheduled!
Here’s a handy link for you to go right ahead and register online…. we hope to see you in the shop!
ps… if fixing your own bike isn’t enough incentive – did you know, all our students receive 10% off parts and accessories!??!

The door 3 curatorsare proud to present the photographic work of Neil Goodwin.
From his website:
I’ve been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. I’ve been an architect, a film maker and a writer and through all of those enterprises I continued to take pictures.
The first photographs that affected me deeply me were Walker Evans’s images of the towns and people of the deep south. They had an unforgettable impact on me – still do. He taught a course in photography at the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1965 as I was finishing my training in architecture, and I leapt at the chance to study with him.
I practiced architecture for a number of years, then, following what I can only describe as a compulsion that would not be denied, I made a documentary about wolves in the Canadian Arctic. The completion and release of that project led to the making of more movies, and before long I was doing documentaries full time. Most of them were for Public Television on wildlife, natural science and historical subjects. In the last few years I have moved away from film production and have written two books deriving from my father’s work as an anthropologist with the Apache Indians. Set in Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains and the American southwest, the books are: The Apache Diaries and Like a Brother.
This selection of pictures is eclectic – taken over a long period of time and in many places. I took many of them in the course of travel while making films or writing, but I find things to take pictures of wherever I go. I take pictures of things that interest me. Among them are: man-made things that come to life when abandoned; ironies, ambiguities and raw beauty in landscapes and cityscapes.
So mark your calendars now and we’ll see you next week! The usual dainties will be served.
We received our first shipment of Brompton H Type bikes today and they look awesome.
According to Brompton, the H Type is the new addition to the range for 2012. Providing a markedly more upright riding position (it has the highest grip height of the four options at 1072mm), the H Type is for those who like to travel with unhurried style, taking in the journey along the way.
Everything is better with JAM – including our most recent selection of art from local Somerville and Cambridge folks.
Sorry for the late notice, but this Friday, February 10th from 7-9pm Door 3 crew will be unveiling the newest exhibition in our homespun gallery.
The art will be ….. JAM Packed! Extra special presence from Broadway Bicycle School’s very own Michael Padgett with his Jamtastic Creations. Free samples of homemade jams and marmalades will abound (of course, in addition to the usual dainties.) Take some home too!
