(1392)

CicLAvia is a free and recurring event that allows for the temporary closing of interconnected routes throughout the region, creating a web of public space in which Angelenos can walk, bike, exercise, socialize, celebrate, and explore new cultures and neighborhoods. Similar events occur in many other cities around the US like Portland, New York and San Francisco. The Bogóta ciclovía also has inspi

red programs in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Quito and Melbourne. Como un evento recurrente y gratuito, planeado el mismo día y hora cada semana o mes, CicLAvía permitirá la clausura temporal de rutas interconectadas a través de la región, creando una red de espacio público en la cual los residentes de Los Ángeles podrán caminar, andar en bicicleta, socializar, celebrar y aprender acerca de nuevas culturas y barrios. Eventos similares a éste han ocurrido de manera exitosa en otras ciudades de los Estados Unidos, como en Portland, Nueva York y San Francisco. La Ciclovía de Bogotá también ha inspirado programas en la Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, Quito y Melbourne.

Understand CicLAvia’s Impact
CicLAvia is more than a day without cars. It’s a movement that reaffirms our identity as a city of neighborhoods, each with its own voice and history. Just like parks, libraries, and transit, open streets are essential to the fabric of our region.

Every time we open our streets, we are investing in people and community. We prioritize working with small businesses, local cultural partners, and civic organizations.

CicLAvia is more than a day without cars. It’s a movement that reaffirms our identity as a city of neighborhoods, each with its own voice and history. Every time we open our streets, we are investing in people and community. We prioritize working with small businesses, local cultural partners, and civic organizations.

Now is the time to support CicLAvia more than ever. We’ve hit a critical moment to ensure our funding. The recently proposed LA Mayor's Budget (FY27) includes meaningful support for open street events and our partner, LADOT.

The reality is that this is a proposed budget. But it’s not a final budget.

We need your voice now more than ever to maintain the City’s investment in CicLAvia.
Take Action between now and the end of May.

👋 It's been a minute since we've been together. Let's have a little refresher.

CicLAvia provides an escape from motorized vehicles for the day and an opportunity to use active mobility. We want to keep it safe for everyone who participates.

A general rule of thumb for any vehicle is that if it is primarily powered by a person, it's allowed at CicLAvia. If it is solely powered by a motor*, it's not.

*Motorized wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and other mobility devices are allowed for participants with disabilities.

Have questions about e-bikes at CicLAvia? Read at ciclavia.org/rules_ebike

🗺️ We recommend previewing the route prior to event day.
This is a new CicLAvia Sunday route with gradual elevation change over the course of 3 miles, specifically between the Pit Stop and Westwood Hub.

Things to consider when hitting a hill
- Be mindful of others and your speed.
- Slower participants stay to the right.
- Politely pass to the left.
- If you're rolling, wear a helmet.

We encourage all participants to be aware of their surroundings and reach out to CicLAvia staff with questions or concerns. By working together, we can create a safe and enjoyable event for everyone.

A look back to our fun day in Melrose at Netflix x CicLAvia—Melrose Ave: Stranger Things 5 One Last Ride ☀️ Moments like these bring people together in ways that turn city streets into spaces for joy and connection.

CicLAvia brings more than good times to participants and communities. We help strengthen economic activity and increase visibility for local businesses long after the route closes.

“CicLAvia has made all the difference in the world to us. People are rediscovering the [Melrose Business District] area. They’re investing and want to be a part of this.”
— Kim Sudhalter, Marketing & Community Relations Director, Melrose Business Improvement District (March 12, 2026 CivSalon),
