CicLaVia is LA’s take on Ciclovías, events that started over three decades ago in Columba and now take place all over Latin America and the US. Cars are kicked off the streets (temporarily) along a chosen route and people are given the freedom to bike, skate, jog, skip, jump, run, walk, and bounce down the streets of Los Angeles. Not exactly a normal procedure for a city that loves its cars. The next one will be the last for this year and takes place October 6th. More info can be found on CicLaVia’s website.

These images are from the Wilshire CicLaVia that took place June 24th, 2013. The route went from Museum Row (starting at Fairfax) all the way into Downtown (ending at Grand). Enjoy the photos and ask any questions in the comments.
