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.

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).

Dr. Hawking will explain that black holes aren’t as black as they are painted. Things can get out of a black hole to the outside and, possibly, on to another universe.
This talk by Professor Hawking is intended for a general audience.

If you are riding your bike, pushing your shopping cart full of bottles and cans, taking the bus, driving your hummer, whatever, stop by the Bike Oven at 3706 N. Figueroa Street between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Thursday, May 15, 2008 for free hot chocolate and pan dulce.
It’s “Bike to Work Week”, but bike commuters know that these silly annual events are all about skipping work to get some free schwag and bike tune-ups.
The Bike Oven is going to open its doors early on Thursday, May 15, 2008 to anyone who wants to come and celebrate bikes with a cup of free warm liquid, some unhealthy pastries, and a bunch of ne’er do wells on two wheels.
Unlike the official “Bike to Work Day” events being put on by the MTA, our Bike to (not) Work Day event will feature numerous unemployed layabouts, students, and (hopefully) a few housewives.
The same details in a different format are here on Midnight Ridazz. The raging debate about this ride is taking place on the Midnight Ridazz forum post for this “event”.

The Spoke(n)Art bicycle ride is a free, once-a-month, bicycle tour of art galleries in North East Los Angeles. This month’s Spoke(n) Art Ride will feature burnination, pinatas, and fun. It will be a hearkening back to simpler times - medieval times. Times when pinatas were the mark of a true party, and their burnination was the highlight of the night.
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”.

In case you missed the Bike Oven’s entry in this year’s Highland Park Holiday Parade, some photos of the day’s events have been posted online.
You can check out some photos in a gallery at Midnightridazz.com, taken by our CFO, or you can check out the Flickr photo set I created below (click on the images to see captions):
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.
If you want to read more about the Highland Park Holiday Parade, there is a funny write-up of the parade by El Chavo on Blogging.LA. El Chavo is the Eastside’s own smart-ass, latino, blog reporter. He was too lazy to hang out long enough to see the Bike Oven’s entry (3 1/2 hours after the start of the parade), but he captured the strange nature of these ‘hood parades in his inimitable way.
El Chavo’s blog, Chanfles!, is a must read for “eastsiders”.
