This month’s Spoke(n) Art Ride is being developed (the ride will be a neat-o tour of art galleries but the art show at the end is being produced right now).
We’ll have more information about the whole shebang posted here, on bikeboom and on MidnightRidazz.com when we’ve settled on the details.

I’m writing this post in July - so I don’t know what is going to be on the agenda. We’ll be getting together to discuss shop business, upcoming events, and any hare brained scheme anyone wants to throw out there (i.e. “Using bikes for transportation” - what a joke!).
The meeting takes place during our shop hours from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

We’re getting together this month (once again) to take care of some “bidness”, mix it with a little bit of pleasure (Dingo’s will be in the house), and we’re going to end early - because we have a bunch of bikes that need to be stripped down for parts and recycled before they form their own collective to do the same thing to us humans.
The meeting will take place during our normal shop hours, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

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.
okay
9pm @ Bike oven Figueroa and Pasadena
$2buck donation entrance
possible bbq but definitely some food maybe chinese more exact details as the day approaches
and cheap beer for donation
definitely $1 hotdogs
if it gets hot we’ll set up at the park across the street.

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.
You can see more of mr.rollers photography online, on his Flickr profile page. Or visit mr.rollers gallery contributions at MidnightRidazz.com

Monday and Wednesday nights at the Bike Oven are Bike Oven Tech Training (B.O.T.T.) nights. We teach each other bike repair and destruction, we take care of our shop, and work on our own bikes. We relax our normal shop rules, order a couple of pizzas, and generally have a “Good Time” ™.
This week, we’re going to focus on training people on the post-modern analysis of bottom brackets. We’ll also be sorting through an insane variety of low-end bike part, and doing a bunch of other work on bikes in the shop - breaking them down, and hopefully building a few back up.
The shop is open from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m, but we’ll be closed to the public. Bike Oven volunteers only. If you’re interested in becoming a “volunteer” at the Bike Oven, email at us at info@bikeoven.com or just stop in to hang out and lend a hand.
More info about volunteer at the Bike Oven can be found on our Volunteer page.

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!

This week, we’re going to focus on training people on the proper use (and abuse) of chain tools. Last week, Harv held a class on chains and chain tools - and this week we’ll be going over that stuff, and doing a bunch of other work on bikes in the shop - breaking them down, and hopefully building a few back up.
The shop is open from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m, but we’ll be closed to the public. Bike Oven volunteers only. If you’re interested in becoming a “volunteer” at the Bike Oven, email at us at info@bikeoven.com or just stop in to hang out and lend a hand.

The Bike Oven parade posse is rolling again this Saturday, May 3, 2008 - come join us!
This Saturday, May 3, 2008 at around 11:00 a.m. bike riders (and ridazz) are invited to join the Bike Oven in the Cypress Park Cinco De Mayo Parade. If you’d like to join us, bring your bike, a smile and a good waing arm - as you’ll be showing off your trusty bicycle to the rest of the neighborhood.
We’ll have some oranges and water on hand - you’ll probably need some sunscreen (and maybe a tall boy or two for after the parade).
Any aspring contenders for the Ms./Mr. Bike Oven 2008 position should arrive appropriately dressed - we’ll have an innertube sash made up for you and a royal rickshaw you will be ridden around in (we’re accepting applications for rickshaw wallahs also).
