THE UNSTEALABLE BIKE/
Friday: CALL FOR ENTRIES ART SHOW OPEN TO ANYONE
Saturday: Art Show at the Bike Oven

THE UNSTEALABLE BIKE
IS THE THEME FOR THIS MONTH’S ART SHOW AT THE BIKE OVEN
We are restructuring the art shows so that we get more bike themed shows. Everyone and anyone is welcomed to bring art related to the theme. It could be a bike it could be anything really but remember we just have one wall. Think about the ultimate beaterbike. The sole purpose of the beater is to detract from the notion of stealing. That’s one idea but be clever, this is your shinning moment. You could leave it any amount of time up to two weeks from the start of the show.
There will be a drop off time on Friday before the show Saturday. Friday you will be able to drop off in the afternoon 3pm to 7pm and then we’ll ride off to midnight ridazz OR THE PASADENA CICLE ART RIDE. There will be a friday night social that Dingo’s been doing Friday nights in his efforts to bring the eastside fun back.

This Sunday September 21, Veronica is having a birthday party and showing the cult classic El Topo.
El Topo (The Mole) is a 1970 allegorical, cult western movie and underground film, directed by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky. Characterized by its bizarre characters and occurrences, use of maimed and dwarf performers, and heavy doses of Christian symbolism and Eastern philosophy, the film is about the eponymous character – a violent, black-clad gunfighter – and his quest for enlightenment.
Doors open at 7 and movie shows at 8pm. There will be food as well and bicycles hanging on the walls!
Bike-In Movie Night @ The Bike Oven
This Sunday August 3rd at 8pm: MIRACLE MILE
Sunday night at the Bike Oven Veronica and I will be doing our fundraising movie night.
This month we’re showing 1989′s MIRACLE MILE, starring Anthony Edwards. It’s a crazy rollercoaster thriller/suspense/end of the world love story about a guy who picks up a payphone and finds out that a nuclear bomb is heading to the US.
Doors open at 7pm
Movie starts at 8pm
Door is $3, cheap hot dogs and beer too. And maybe Veronica will make something amazing too.
This clip is from “The Car” (1977) – exposing the reality behind America’s favorite means of locomotion.
Bike In Movies: The Secret life of Annie (or Sister Streetfighter) and The Car

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
