Have You Heard of CicLAvia?
The City of Los Angels is closing 10 miles of roadway to motorized traffic for much of the day - I encourage all to visit this very fun, family friendly event on Sunday. AND IT's FREE!!
I took my family to the last CicLAvia event and it was wonderful. Just lots of people, walking, skating, biking, enjoying their community - No fights, no road rage, lots of happy people. A very nice break from these stressful times. I feel we would be wise to have something similar in the San Gabriel Valley. I’m a little pressed for time so I am just going to paste the email I received regarding the event details below:
