So it’s the last week of the month again and you know what that means kiddies- Critical Mass time. This month, instead of just sneaking away from our jobs and families, here’s an official post to letcha know: We (The Bike Oven staff and Friends) are riding to CM as a pack from the Bike Oven. That’s right. Through months of careful traffic and terrain research, we’ve figured out a slick back alley route to the CM start point at Wilshire and Western. Anyone interested in joining us to ride out as a group is more than welcome to come. We meet at the Oven at 6 pm and ride out by 6:30 at a chill pace to get to CM smooth and on time. Our super duper top secret route plan does however include one brief stop at the Southwest corner of Echo Park (aka Glendale and Bellevue) for those of you not right on time or NELA enuff to start with us, we’ll scoop you up along the way.
Get your wok n roll , we just got a donation of a wok so we are showing chinese bicycle movie. yes come sunday expect to eat stir fry or something asian. Bring what you like and get ready to relax in the firsy summer movie at the bike oven. Have you had your bike stolen come and check out the unique situation that occurs in this movie. chicken leather will show his goods at the begining so the movie probably starts later but come check out whats happening with the bike scene. Catch up with the chicken if you can.
Come join the workshop . It’s 10 dollars donation. ChickenLeather will be your teacher from fixing flats to adjusting your derailer. Learn the basics in a fun way.
We’re big proponents fixing up that old bike and getting it back on the road. But sometimes there’s nothing to do but start fresh. If you’re in the market for a new ride and you’ve got an old one sitting around, here’s a way you can help out cycling in Los Angeles while getting a discount.
