CicLAvia is a series of open streets events that take place at least every two months. I usually go to every CicLAvia to put the walking to the test, as well as other things along each CicLAvia like finding goodies, exercising, and freebies. I first started CicLAvia on December 2nd, 2018 with CicLAvia Heart of LA. This page also includes CicLAmini, compact neighborhood routes that serve at least one community.

I took Metro New Blue 864 for this event.

Throughout the day, I found a series of YouTubers including the same person as the 6/30/19 event and SoCal Transit Studios.
