Los Angeles cicLAvia Street Bike Event Is Back
If you have a bike, this weekend is the perfect time to ride it around L.A. (There’s also an Open Streets event in Santa Cruz on Oct.7, 2012, see scopenstreets.org). In a street closure for a day called cicLAvia, pedestrians and bicyclists take to the streets to experience delightful car-free moments. Billed as LA’s biggest Block Party, the event happens just a week after Carmageddon (a portion of 405 Freeway was closed last weekend.) Favorite haunts such as Little Tokyo and the 4th Street Bridge with its million-dollar view of the downtown skyline are highlights to an event that includes music, performances, food trucks galore, and just about everything else L.A. has to offer!
