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 “MÁSCARA”, an exhibition of work by artist Laura Hackney. The exhibition opens on Saturday, April 12, 2008 and will remain at the Bike Oven until May 3, 2008. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 12, at 7 pm. For further information about the MÁSCARA exhibition, please contact Laura Hackney at laurahackney AT mac.com

If you are riding your bike, pushing your shopping cart full of bottles and cans, taking the bus, driving your hummer, whatever, stop by the Bike Oven at 3706 N. Figueroa Street between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Thursday, May 15, 2008 for free hot chocolate and pan dulce.
It’s “Bike to Work Week”, but bike commuters know that these silly annual events are all about skipping work to get some free schwag and bike tune-ups.
The Bike Oven is going to open its doors early on Thursday, May 15, 2008 to anyone who wants to come and celebrate bikes with a cup of free warm liquid, some unhealthy pastries, and a bunch of ne’er do wells on two wheels.
Unlike the official “Bike to Work Day” events being put on by the MTA, our Bike to (not) Work Day event will feature numerous unemployed layabouts, students, and (hopefully) a few housewives.
The same details in a different format are here on Midnight Ridazz. The raging debate about this ride is taking place on the Midnight Ridazz forum post for this “event”.
This month, a big group of us went through a bunch of stuff: kiddie bike give-aways, our legal status (as a collective), what to do for a huge art show in June, etc.
We also went through two pizzas and laughed about 32% of the time (we’ve had a study done to prove this).

Bicycle Advisory Committee Meeting *New Location* - The April 1st meeting of the BAC will be held at the Griffith Park Ranger Station Auditorium, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, at 7 PM.
The Los Angeles Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) was formed in 1974 by Mayor Bradley in order to address bicycling issues in the City of Los Angeles.
Today the BAC advises the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and Planning Department on issues relevant to bicycling for transportation and the implementation of the City’s Bicycle Plan. The BAC also advises the Department of Recreation and Parks on issues regarding recreational bicycling.

This coming Wednesday, April 2, 2008 we’re going to close the shop for an evening and have a meeting to discuss a bunch of stuff having to do with bikes and the Bike Oven.
We’ll probably try and figure out what sort of parts (and how much money for parts) we’ll spend this month. We’re definitely going to talk about making the shop better, and what we should focus on this next month. Plus, any events, rides, or whatever scheduled to happen will also get brought up.
The meeting is going to start at 7 p.m. We’ll have some pizza there too. Yay, pizza!

On Saturday March 22nd, Bike Oven will be hosting a fundraiser put on by 2008 AIDS Life Cycle riders Team Midnight Ridazz. From 1pm to 4pm, Midnight Ridazz team members will be there to bathe your dirty bikes. Come on out to have a great time, get your bike cleaned and support the team as they prepare to make the long trek from San Francisco to Los Angeles for AIDS Life Cycle. Bring some friends and bring your bike!
This benefit is also happening (simultaneously!) at Bikerowave in West Los Angeles.

At the upcoming Cycles of Continuance/Sustainable Transportation Using Bicycles and Public Transit with Rick Risemberg of Bicycle Fixation you can learn how easy it is to get around your city on your own power or with the help of public transit–even if your city is one as vast and busy as Los Angeles! We’ll cover equipment, clothing, techniques, and attitudes that make all-weather bicycling not only practical but pleasurable. Free yourself from obesity, stress, high fuel prices, and boredom, and free the planet from sprawl and pollution and the gigantic tax subsidies given to road abusers. And no, you won’t need to dress in Lycra!
