Join our 68th event that connects over 6.5 miles of open streets in Downtown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Arts District, Boyle Heights, and Echo Park.
Ways to Participate
This all-day event temporarily closes streets to car traffic and opens them to use as a gathering place. CicLAvia Sundays are free for all to walk, skate, bike, play, and explore.
It’s not a race. There’s no starting point or finish line—begin where you like and enjoy the day your way.
Experienced Riders Recommended
CicLAvia is not an ideal place to teach a child, or an adult, how to ride due to the heavy flow of bike, board, and pedestrian traffic. While we encourage participants of all ages and skill levels, we strongly suggest that children and all participants learn the basics of bike riding before participating in the event route.
Biking with Children
Our friends at REI have a comprehensive information and video page about biking with children. Please take the time to review this information if you plan to enjoy CicLAvia with children.
What to Bring
Make sure to bring everything you need for a safe and comfortable day.
- Helmet: We highly recommend that everyone planning to come on a bike, scooter, skateboard, rollerblades, skates, and other wheeled forms of people-powered mobility wear a helmet at CicLAvia. Don’t worry—we are big fans of helmet hair. 😉
Helmets are required by California law for all kids under 18 if they are on a bike, scooter, skateboard, skates, or other types of geared or wheeled transportation. - Water bottle: Bring a reusable water bottle. We offer water refill stations at each hub.
- Sun protection: Bring your favorite hat and apply sunscreen.
