Ride with YPT-LA at CicLAvia

It’s that time of year again! April means experiencing a car-free (and carefree!) Los Angeles at CicLAvia, Sunday, April 21. Get out your bicycle and ride with YPT-LA. Join us as we ride the western part of the route from the Culver City Hub to the Venice Hub (for more info, check out the route map).

We will gather at the Culver City Hub at 11:30am — look for blue shirts, flags, backpacks, anything blue! — and depart at noon. Ride west with us or meet us at the Venice Hub between 1pm and 1:30pm. We will be playing volleyball and frisbee at the beach. Leave when you are ready to head back to your final destination.

Let us know you’re coming and don’t forget to wear your YPT blue biking attire! Click here to RSVP.
