What is CicLAvia?
CicLAvia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reimagining Los Angeles streets as spaces for community, connection, and sustainable transportation. Inspired by Bogotá’s ciclovía, CicLAvia has been bringing car-free celebrations to Los Angeles since 2010, allowing residents to explore their city in new ways.
