I can’t overstate how fast positive things have been happening at the Bike Oven since we opened our doors at our new location at 3706 N. Figueroa Blvd. in mid-August. So I made a little movie about this past Saturday, October 6, 2007, that ought to show a little bit of what the Bike Oven crew was up to (not shown - preparation for next weekend’s “Air Pressure” art show and the Spoke(n) Art Ride afterparty)
The Midnight Ridazz stopped by at around 2 a.m. The Oven was a pit stop for the Ridazz’ Sweet and Tender Hooligans Tribute to The Smiths ride that started in Hollywood and ended up scaling the hills of L.A. to the Griffith Observatory and to the back of the Hollywood sign. They rode all night long, and into the morning. You can check out the build-up and aftermath of the ride in the Midnight Ridazz forum post for the Sweet and Tender Hooligans ride.
I had a good time hanging with all the Ridazz and with the Bike Oven crew before and after. I think everyone else had a pretty good time too.

just wanted to say thanks to gary, linda and everyone else at the oven who was super laid back and helpful this past weekend. i walked in needing a commuter bike to replace the one i’ve been borrowing for the last few months, and i walked out with a fully functional bike! and i learned a lot about bike building / repair in the process. looking forward to the upcoming friday clinics. thanks y’all.
I trust you would not mind if I posted a part of this on my univeristy blog?
