No April Fools!!
The first of this year’s 3 CicLAvia’s is April 21st –
and it is all the way to the SEA!

The April 21st CicLAvia route to the sea will use Venice Boulevard from Figueroa to the Beach from 8 am to 3 pm (eastbound auto traffic will be allowed from Abbot Kinney to Crenshaw).
Santa Monica Spoke and our partners are planning lots of fun stuff around this event, with feeder rides (as usual) and LOTS more fun for the whole family. 

Watch for updates and a meeting date soon, information and opportunities to volunteer and help us make this the best CicLAvia ever!

CicLAvia is recognized as one of the city’s most innovative initiatives – It’s a large-scale, public celebration that has come to symbolize Los Angeles’ civic, cultural, and environmental resurgence.  With more than 100,000 participants each time, CicLAvia is one of the nation’s most inclusive urban events. And this next one will make it to Venice Beach!
CicLAvia is Los Angeles’ adaptation of ciclovía, a phenomenon that began more than 35 years ago in Bogotá, Colombia, where every Sunday 80 miles of streets become closed to car traffic with the goals of reducing pollution and encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
