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.
The spoken art Ride has a new start point which is the flying Pigeon/Bike Oven at 7pm. Bring lights and blinky’s and if dont have any the Flying Pigeon has a selection for purchase. We take off to 5 galleries, the shows change every month in all galleries so it’s always a new show full of surprises. It’s like going through the lourve in 30 seconds.
The art is Wilson Diaz , Stencil artist studying to be an architect. Come enjoy his monkey business of stenciling. He’s selling shirts cheap and poss prints of these guys(monkeys). Party will entail ater the ride at the Bike Oven /Flying Pigeon.monkey-poster1monkey-poster11

Saturday Night spoken art ride is upon us. Meet at the flag pole at York and Figueroa at 6:30pm leave at 7pm. The usual mayhem. Last months ride was like taking a trip on the Willy Wonka boat ride, no drugs needed. The best art ride in the city.
The artist featured this month is Cecilia Marmol. We are going back to painting. She paints scenery and scene and recently was about to show at MOCA but they backed out for lack of funds but we won out because now we get to show her work before she becomes world famous. The party and reception is at 10pm when we get back from the art ride and on until 12to 1ish. Pinata and kiddie bikes and black bean enchiladas.

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 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”.
This month’s Spoke(n) Art Ride will feature the work of Stephen Roullier, aka mr.rollers - a member of the Midnight Ridazz bicycling community, and one of its most prolific and best photo documenters.
