Yesterday, L.A.’s popular CicLAvia open streets event took place on Venice Boulevard from Venice Beach and Culver City. It was the fifty-first CicLAvia.
Tens of thousands of people enjoyed bicycling, skating, walking, and running on six miles of quiet car-free streets.
As a cool April morning gave way to warm afternoon sun, crowds swelled. As usual for these events, many cyclists took to Metro rail, crowding E Line trains, especially in the morning. Along the route, lines were long at local restaurants and at event hubs.
Readers – how was your experience at yesterday’s CicLAvia Venice Boulevard?
Here are some reminders for upcoming open streets events:
- This Sunday, April 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. enjoy Active Streets Mission-to-Mission through the cities of Alhambra, San Gabriel, and South Pasadena
- More CicLAvias coming soon to: Wilmington on May 19, South L.A. Western Avenue on June 23, and Hollywood/West Hollywood/East Hollywood on August 18.
