The Bike Oven has been invited to take part in the 8th Annual Nacimiento Tour, providing free bicycle repairs at the start and end point of what promises to be an amazing tour of North East and East Los Angeles.
The free, guided, 8th Annual Nacimiento Tour will take place on Sunday, January 6, 2008 at 11 a.m. (guided tour registration begins at 10 a.m.). The ride begins and ends at the Los Angeles River and Gardens Center located at 570 W. Avenue 26, Los Angeles, CA 90065.

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”.
The Spoke(n) Art Ride will begin (as it usually does), at the flagpole on the corner of Figueroa and York Blvd. in Highland Park.
This month’s ride is going to bring the Spoke(n) Art Ride back to its after-party roots: pinatas, kiddie bikes, bike racing, some beer, a lot of fun.
The details are being worked out, but we’re basically going to have a birthday party/parties, along with the Spoke(n) Art Ride, converge at the Oven sometime after 9:30 p.m.
For more information about the bike ride, check out the static Spoke(n) Art Page.

This month’s Spoke(n) Art Ride is brought to you by “The Transient Landscape” - a photographic exhibition at the Bike Oven that will be up until the end of December. The exhibition will have its opening on the same night that the Spoke(n) Art Ride takes place.

This past weekend’s Spoke(n) Art Ride was a bit smaller than usual, but the spectrum of artistic expression on display during NELA Art’s Second Saturday was larger than ever.
Our first stop was at the confluence of the Los Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco. These two bodies of water meet near the intersection of San Fernando Road and Figueroa Street under the 5/110 interchange. We had to scramble down the cement walls of the Arroyo to get to the confluence, bikes in hand.
It was night time, so our view of the recently created murals, pieces, throw-ups, and tags was hindered by low light. I gave up trying to take night time pictures in the river bed, but if you’d like to see images of the work take a look at a series of posts about the “Meeting of Styles” that took place in early October on the LA Weekly’s Lurker blog.
Sadly, about 300 yards of murals were destroyed by the Los Angeles County Public Works Department “buffer” - a middle aged latin american man driving a white pickup truck full of grey paint. On my way to work, I see him making his bi-monthly trips up and down the Arroyo buffing (painting over) all the graffiti along the Arroyo Bike Path. Sometimes, his wife is driving the truck while he sprays.
The sculpture above was created during the course of the evening by Brian - one of our Bike Oven shop regulars. It has since been disassembled - the objects it was made out will one day ride out the door as parts on working bicycles.
Once we extracted ourselves from the Arroyo, it was on to several other galleries. We ended at the Bike Oven - for our first group show, featuring a whole host of pieces, from oil paintings to pottery. We even had some on-the-spot work created by a Bike Oven regular during the course of the evening (see photo above). The show will run until December - so stop in during shop hours to check it out. Our show next month will be collection of photographs of the Los Angeles area. If nothing else, it promises to be a fun opening night party and an interesting exhibition.
