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

blackwomansidekick — Thu, 10 May 2012 04:29:03 +0000

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.

blackwomansidekick — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 03:42:34 +0000

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!
