Ciclavia 2013: Downtown LA

This weekend, Jeff and I participated in Ciclavia, an event in LA dedicated to closing down roads and giving them over to bikers and pedestrians. We biked from Hollywood to Downtown LA, then all around from MacArthur Park to Chinatown to Grand Park to Mirachi Plaza.

We stopped at hubs along the way, snapping photos, eating delicious fare from the street trucks, and listening to some music in the park. All in all, we biked 16 miles around this lovely city, and really got to see what LA would be like if we dedicated just a LITTLE more space to pedestrians and bicycles.

It made me nostalgic for Boston and New York, and gave me hope that maybe someday more people will walk in LA without it being taboo. We even took the Metro home! Below, find some shots of our fun day out on the town!
