ABOUT CICLAVIA

Inspired by Bogotá’s weekly ciclovía, CicLAvia has been opening LA streets to people and closing them to cars since 2010 — connecting nearly two million Angelenos across 349 miles of car-free streets.

“South LA is always one of the highlights of CicLAvia’s schedule,” says CicLAvia Executive Director Romel Pascual. “Along South Central Ave, LA’s dynamic culture can be seen in the local businesses and restaurants, community parks, and public art that are on the route.”
