Feeder Rides: CicLAvia Pasadena

Next we head to a completely new city when CicLAvia – Pasadena Presented by Metro takes place on May 31.

CicLAvia – Pasadena Presented by Metro will be the most walkable CicLAvia to date at 3.5 miles. The cozy distance will offer participants the opportunity to peruse and explore Pasadena’s business gems and cultural treasures. Spurs off the main route on Raymond Avenue and Lake Street will take participants to local parks. And CicLAvia’s new partnership with Kurios – Cabinet of Curiosities, Cirque du Soleil’s newest touring Big Top show, coming to Southern California this fall, will give participants young and old a smile-inducing and awe-inspiring entertainment adventure.

We will again host TWO feeder events to CicLAvia from Santa Monica!!

Both start at Tongva Park: “Bike it – all the way” or “Multimodal – Bike it to Expo & Train”

Whether you ride with us or get there on your own – don’t miss it! CicLAvia celebrates the streets of Los Angeles for everyone!  Temporarily limiting the access of motor vehicles and opening the streets to all users – walking, wheelchairs, skates, bikes, scooters, skate boards, strollers – you name it! Helpful suggestion on participation at CicLAvia

We will host two feeder ride options to CicLAvia this Sunday, May 31st.

Meet           7:30am

Option 1 – Multimodal
Bike it to Culver City and EXPO LINE / Gold Line together

This simple Route is 7.5 miles and nearly completely flat with bike lanes or low traffic volume streets at our time of travel. We will be traveling at an easy pace but do ask you “stay with the pace” so we can all get there together. No rider is left behind.
For feeder ride all young children should be on tag-a-long, child carrier or in trailers.
Group will decide to ride or train to Gold Line Station from 7th Street Station

Option 2 – Advanced
Bike from Santa Monica to CicLAvia – The Valley

(bail out option at DTLA Gold Line)

This ride 27.9 miles and is for more advance riders – slightly faster paced with more elevation gain (click map). This group plans to meet the UCLA Bike Shop Group at Westwood and Santa Monica Blvd at 8:45am.
The group will still stay together with no rider left behind – you do have the option if you choose to jump on the Gold Line if you run out of steam or prefer to ride the train from DTLA.

Want to take public transit all the way from Santa Monica?

Easy, relaxing, and quicker than you may think!
Big Blue Bus Rapid 10  or Metro to DTLA Union Station,
