On Sunday, CicLAvia hosted the annual Heart of L.A. event. As always, the Heart of L.A. event, an annual early October tradition since 2010, saw tens of thousands of Angelenos smiling their way along streets closed to car traffic.

The route connects neighborhoods in and around downtown Los Angeles: Boyle Heights, Little Tokyo, Echo Park, and Chinatown. It features many iconic L.A. sites, including the 6th Street Viaduct, City Hall, Mariachi Plaza, Hollenbeck Park, Echo Park, and more.
