It’s almost time to once again for CicLAvia! In April we returned to the very cool Wilshire Boulevard route. In December we’ll be cycling/walking an all-new South L.A. route. On Sunday, October 5, we’ll be exploring a cool new route in the heart of L.A.. Dig it:

“CicLAvia will return to the Heart of L.A. on October 5 from 9:00 a.m – 4:00 p.m. with an almost entirely new route. Heart of L.A. will cross through downtown L.A. along parts of the first CicLAvia route, but will extend into new areas like Echo Park, the Historic Broadway Theater District, and through Boyle Heights all the way into the County of Los Angeles and into East Los Angeles … the route will feature a pedestrian zone in the Broadway Theater District, a kids zone at the East LA Civic Center and will cross paths with the Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture, which is being held in Grand Park.”

Come out and enjoy car-free streets and see how it changes our city and the way we experience it, not least by eliminating the noise pollution we’ve grown accustomed to. You can bike, scoot, skate or just hoof it at whatever pace suits you. Anything non-motorized is appropriate. Don’t have a bike? See places to rent bikes here.
