CicLAvia Glendale Meets Atwater Village will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 3-mile long route is not among CicLAvia's most transit-accessible, but is very near the Glendale Metrolink/Amtrak station and easy bicycling distance from the L.A. River Bike Path.  There will be feeder bike rides from Eagle Rock/Highland Park, Mid-City West, and Burbank.
