Bike In Movies: The Secret life of Annie (or Sister Streetfighter) and The Car
06.29.08
Bike in Movie is Back at the Bike Oven This Sunday at 9pm. Ride your bike over
The BIKE IN MOVIE NIGHT IS BACK FOR THE SUMMER. AND WE’RE DOING TRASHY SUMMER DRIVE INS. First up, we’re going to be fast forwarding through The Car 1977, a demonic car movie far worse that Christine and a bicyclist worse nightmare. We’ll fast forward through the slow seventies long dialogue and get you the real guts of the movie.
Then after that we are going back to classic Kung Fu, with SISTER STREETFIGHTER, starring Sonny Chiba and an actress that looks suspiciously like one of our regular bikers, ANNIE.. You see Annie on rides giving a few martial art moves. Just erase the streetfighter thoughts that come to your head, videogames kids cartoons. this is NOTHING like that,. This movie KICKS KUNG FU ASS, and it may have inspired Bruce Lee’s KUNG FU movie career.

The Bike Oven gets some sweet bikes rolling through our doors every now and again, and the fixed gear pictured above is a great example.
The owner of the bike, Johnny Lam, posted pictures of his ride in the Fixed Gear Gallery, and gave us a shout out for the assitance we provided him:
Here is my first conversion (actually first time wrenching on any bike) of a Nishiki International. A buddy of mine gave this to me with missing pieces. With the kind volunteers at the Bike Oven (www.bikeoven.com), I was able to pull apart parts I didn’t need, reassembled and greased up the BB, headset, and rear hub. I even had the chance to redish my rear wheel. I’ve learned plenty from this build.
The Spoke(n) Art bicycle ride is a free, once-a-month, bicycle tour of art galleries in North East Los Angeles.
The ride takes place on the second Saturday of each month - a special night in North East Los Angeles. Area art galleries open their doors late into the night as part of NELAart’s “Gallery Night”.
This month’s Spoke(n) Art Ride will feature the work of Stephen Roullier, aka mr.rollers - a member of the Midnight Ridazz bicycling community, and one of its most prolific and best photo documenters.
This coming Wednesday, June 4, 2008 we’re going to close the shop for an evening and have a meeting to discuss a bunch of stuff having to do with bikes and the Bike Oven.
We’re going to have to deal with a slight rent increase, and we desperately need to get some more volunteers trained to help on the shop floor. Plus will be talking about any events, rides, or whatever scheduled to happen, or that someone needs some help setting up.
The meeting is going to start at 7 p.m. We’ll have some pizza there too. Yay, pizza!
