Yesterday tens of thousands of Angelenos took to the open streets for 'CicLAvia - Meet the Hollywoods' spanning East Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Hollywood proper. Six miles of streets were closed to cars and open to bicycling, walking, skating, and more.

Similar to events in 2022 and 2019, the route featured Hollywood Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard and Highland Avenue. One new feature along the route was Hollywood Boulevard's two new miles of parking-protected bike lanes, though there wasn't any car parking and cyclists didn't need to be restricted to just one narrow lane.

Along the routes, eateries and event hubs were crowded as all kinds of Angelenos enjoyed exploring quiet happy streets.

Metro Sunset/Vermont Station had lines for cyclists to use escalators (and elevators, not pictured) at around 10 a.m. (Streetsblog passed this tip along to a couple of struggling folks: when you take your bike on an escalator, use the brakes to keep the bike from rolling backward.)

Where can cyclists ride six abreast? At CicLAvia in West Hollywood. (Though SBLA would recommend against this sort of practice; make sure your group doesn't block other cyclists from getting around you.)
