Join us at the Flying Pigeon LA bike shop and Bike Oven this Saturday, May 12, 2012 for another Spoke(n) Art Ride gallery tour.

Meet at the NELA bike-industrial complex located at 3714 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90065 at 6 p.m. The ride leaves at 6:30 p.m. We return to the start point at around 10 or 10:30 p.m. for a reception.

The Spoke(n) Art Ride is a monthly tour of galleries open for NELAart’s Second Saturday – a special night when area galleries and studios open their doors to the public until the wee hours.

The ride is a slow-paced cruise, stopping every couple of minutes. Sometimes we veer off the beaten path, sometimes a backyard party – it all changes slightly from month to month. For more general information about the ride, check out the Bike Oven’s Spoke(n) Art page.

This month we’re going on a super secret music tour through North East Los Angeles to find Homesick Elephant, Artichoke, and Dzian!.

We will also head to our new shop location at 3402 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90065 right next door to Antigua Cultural Coffee House in Cypress Park, for a sneak peak at our new home and to check out the work of Daniel Wader.

Don’t have a bike? No problem! We rent single speed beach cruisers with blinkie lights for $20. We have a fleet of bikes – just make sure to show up at or before 6 p.m. to ensure you get a bike! Things get hectic at start time, with over 100 riders congregating at the shop before we leave.

There is a Facebook event page for this ride.

This month we have 2 walls 2 artist. The bike oven has ‘Rifles and Bibles’ by Charles Aguilar, collage work. In the  Flying Pigeon we have the show called ‘Ofelia’ by Jacqueline Vitela, paintings and drawings. We do have kiddie bikes to race so be scared, very scared. I don’t think we can out do last months burning of three pinatas, will we ever out do that! Never. Tearing down fences, out of control and back to old times. This month definitely good stuff waiting at the Oven Charles will delight you with his ukele and malo lado mateo facebooked everyone  but us, that he’s playing, i mean i did ask him but so unexpected, it’s all around crazy times at the oven. oh yeah did i mention we go thru a pleathera of art galleries deep in the heart of north east la. There is a slow ride and a fast ride so you’ll fit in somewhere don’t you worry

with live bands. Cheap art and free bands all you need is the beer. Plus one of the most chill bike rides this city has to offer.
Ride to 4 to 5 galleries that are all open for us at 6pm meet at the bike oven/Flying pigeon
or come back for the party/reception at 10 pm with live bands and $20 dollar art. It’s almost as good as buying art at the convention center. Get your xmas shopping early.

Update:
Share the RoadCycle NELAThe Bike Oven comes to Outpost

One stop on this month’s ride will be Outpost for Contemporary Art where they are having their monthly T-shirt Revival Night. Bring a shirt and get one of the original designs by Kelly Thompson silk-screened for $6 (2 for $10).
