The Bike Oven is hosting a FREE maintenance workshop. This workshop will review the basic steps to thoroughly check a bike for safety prior to a ride, to check for necessary repair or maintenance, or to inspect a bicycle prior to purchase.

The class is open to all levels and no prior mechanical experience or tools are needed.

If you have a bike, bring it with you so you can learn to evaluate it. If you do not have a bike, shop bikes will be available to learn on.

RSVP is required. Please email workshops@bikeoven.com

Made possible by funding from the Department of Health and Human Services through the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Stencilitis:Promote your bike Wed Jan5 7pm-9

What is stencilitis, it is a rare disease that is spreading. Remember the sharrow rice paper campaign dept of diy did, well we need to continue this and put bicycles in the uncounscious conciousness of everyone, in a way we are selling bikes the image the ideas to everyone like commercials. What if every car commercial was a bike commercial. Nobody would buy but in an illegal form people would dig it. This all ties with Spoken art on Saturday Jan 8. So Wed we make the stencils, we’ll help you if you’re no artist, we’ve got artist at the oven to help you make your dreams of stenciling complete. Then friday midnight ridazz we go on the ride and take the stencils and do them around town in our imbedded stencilitis group. Saturday we’ll put them up at the oven, you’ll get to take home stenciled shirts and prints, depending on what you bring. If you bring a shirt a bag whatever we’ll stencil it for you. I have a L.A. Racer series of stencils with Hern promoting L.A. Racer shorts that we will show in February. Next week we’ll have another stencilitis ride in a different part of town until we’ve covered it with this PROMOTE YOU BIKE series. So the theme is Promote your bike. Bring in a picture of your bike or a lost or stolen bike and we’ll blow it up into a stencil. Plus weds are mac and cheese nights this time pumpkin mac and cheese sounds crazy, crazy good. Look out for all that is to come.
