CicLAvia – Heart of LA
Join us in the Heart of LA
CicLAvia Sunday is an opportunity to make unforgettable memories on the car-free streets of LA. Whether it’s your first event or you are a seasoned CicLAvia enthusiast, we are excited to see you!
You can enter and exit the route at any point along the way to walk, jog, bike, skate, skateboard, hula hoop, or dance. Keep an eye out for all the Local Gems along the route.
Looking for a way to show off your CicLAvia spirit? You’re just in time to sign up to volunteer for part of the day. Come on your own or invite some friends, either way, it’s a fun way to experience a CicLAvia Sunday, meet new people and support an organization you love. Volunteer sign-ups close Thursday night!
An Abundance of Activities!
All 5 Hubs have free water stations and restrooms, a First Aid booth, bike parking, free bike repair, and free AARP sponsored pedicab rides to other Hubs. The pedicabs stop at each Info Booth. Just look for the sign and enjoy the ride!
