I can’t remember why I captured this moment on film. It is but one small example of how things happen at the Bike Oven. Two cameras were rolling to catch a guy pushing a broom while riding a bike. The guy is going on about the city. One of the cameramen talks about saving fossil fuel; a little girl runs screaming; a guy in a Mexico jersey say something about sweeping people’s yards.
“This doesn’t cost any money.”
“Do you work for the City?”
“Heck yeah.”
The Bike Oven is a community run bike repair collective located just two doors down from us at 3706 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90065.
