May 12th Spoke(n) Art Ride – 6:30 start

Published

on May 9, 2012

. Closed

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 SATURDAY
04.14.12
We’re calling it a Pre-Ciclavia party so I’m throwing it out there….PJ PARTY with us all night! Rage until we ride in the morning??? Come in your PJ’s so you won’t have to waste any more time going home after Spoke’n Art? We all need time to dream, but our dream is coming true this weekend- streets with no cars!! Yeah, maybe we still have to deal with dodging little babies riding their trikes, and trying not to hit dogs and cats. I dunno Ciclavia will make you feel good just like the Spoke’n Art does so do it and do it as often as you can, COME ON DOWN!

WHAT///????
Spoke’n Art Ride meets @ 6:30pm Saturday at The Bike Oven 3706 N. Figueroa, LA 90065, it will still be light out, but bring lights and jackets and PEEJAYS yeah!
maybe we’ll bust the bbq pit out for smores
10 pm or so we return to the Bike Oven after going to many art galleries, then see the ALL NEW ART SHOW and the RAD punk band The Goons!! (and probably get fed by us and Food Not Bombs, this chapter CAN cook!)
Then go home (or don’t!!) you won’t have to change into your jammys but definitely brush your teeth, nothing worse than someone who rides a bike with no teeth.
ART BY “PASSENGER” AND “SIN MUGRE” presenting their show, PASAJERO SIN MUGRE music by THE GOONS you could look it up on facebook but really it takes the element of surprise away, just come!

So it’s the last week of the month again and you know what that means kiddies- Critical Mass time. This month, instead of just sneaking away from our jobs and families, here’s an official post to letcha know: We (The Bike Oven staff and Friends) are riding to CM as a pack from the Bike Oven. That’s right. Through months of careful traffic and terrain research, we’ve figured out a slick back alley route to the CM start point at Wilshire and Western. Anyone interested in joining us to ride out as a group is more than welcome to come. We meet at the Oven at 6 pm and ride out by 6:30 at a chill pace to get to CM smooth and on time. Our super duper top secret route plan does however include one brief stop at the Southwest corner of Echo Park (aka Glendale and Bellevue) for those of you not right on time or NELA enuff to start with us, we’ll scoop you up along the way.

This aint no twilight lucky for you. It is an armwrestle away as to the choice of the movie. Americathon or Idiocracy(i spelled that totally wrong

) which proves the point If Steve doesnt show up then we show Americathon. If he does show up we armwrestle steve for it. Americathon deals with a future with no oil everyone rides bikes and the goverment goes bankrupt and tries to raise money pulling a telethon, this movie was made in the 70′s yes, the precious 70′s where movies were nieve and predicted the future. why didnt our parents listen. Oh and meatloaf eats a whole car. George carlin narrates and Elvis costello is the prime minister. Come take a look at what they thought the future was going to be like in the 70′s.Pretty close. 6pm thankgiving for us and 7pm movie starts. popcorn and bring thanksgiving left overs and you get a burger king crown.
