On Sunday, December 5, we're opening up streets in South LA connecting the neighborhoods of South Central, Exposition Park, Leimert Park and Crenshaw. Ride, bike, skate, run, walk, skateboard, spectate, and enjoy the route however you want. We welcome people of all ages and abilities! This CicLAvia is presented by Metro.

The term CicLAvia stems from a similar Spanish word for “bike way,” and in L.A. it’s become a shorthand for the temporary, festival-like closing of L.A.’s streets.

The event (inspired by the first Ciclovías in Bogotá, Colombia) welcomes bikes, tricycles, skateboards, strollers and basically anything else without an engine to ride a rotating cast of car-free routes. You’ll inevitably always find a route each year around Downtown, but past events have taken it anywhere from the harbor to the San Gabriel Valley.

For 2021, CicLAvia makes its return with three events: one by the harbor in Wilmington (Aug 15), another near DTLA (Oct 10) and a final route through South L.A. (Dec 5).
