  • September 20: PARKing Day & Global Climate Strike Kickoff

     

    September 20-27 is Global Climate Strike action week! On Friday, September 20, Broadway Bicycle will kick off these days packed with climate activism by taking over the parking surface in front of our shop. Advocating for the car-free city we are dreaming of, we will turn the parking space into a neighborhood gathering and bike enthusiast zone.

    We invite everyone to experience with us how recreational space opens up with just a little less car infrastructure in town. Please stop by and enjoy a cup of coffee or juice, read one of our many bike mechanic and activism related books, chat with friends and strangers and — special offer — take a free flat repair class! Our space is open from 10am to 4pm, the classes take place at 11am and 2pm.

    Students attending the Youth Climate Strike that day will get free snacks and drinks, free bike assessments and air and oil service! Extra: Free sparkling valve caps (home-made, limited edition).

    PARKing Day is a Cambridge-wide event, see here a map of all the locations.

    See you on Friday. Ride Bikes. Protect the planet.

  • FEELINGS, an art installation in May in the Door 3 Gallery

    feelings image

    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
