Judging by the turnout, today’s CicLAvia in Los Angeles was a success. Bikers young and old took to the streets, and they were joined by token pedestrians, roller skaters, and a few skateboarders.
CicLAvia was a great way to explore some of LA’s neighborhoods that fall under the radar. Hel-Mel, Koreatown, Little Bangladesh, Virgil Village, downtown, Little Tokyo, the Jewelry District, the Arts District, and Boyle Heights all fell along the route from 10am to 3pm today. Walking, bicycling, skateboarding--they were all a great way to see older neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
For now the event is only twice a year. Once a month would be better. Or every Sunday. Biking in LA is a special treat.
