Long Beach’s First Ever Beach Streets Ciclovía – Open Thread
How was your Beach Streets? Long Beach, the aspirational most bike-friendly city in America and demonstrably the most bike-friendly city in L.A. County, has joined the ranks of cities hosting open streets festivals or ciclovías. Long Beach's first ever Beach Streets was full of camaraderie, chillness, and community.

Was Long Beach's ciclovía markedly different than open streets festivals produced by the non-profit CicLAvia? Has Metro's countywide open streets initiative spread these events to new places and exposed new people to the awesomenesses that are ciclovías? Comment below!
