Just a few random images from Sunday’s Culver City to Venice CicLAvia, which once again appeared to be an overwhelming success.
Even if the LAPD seemed to undercount the attendance just a tad.
Bikes crammed into the Expo Line headed to Culver City
Venice marked the end of the road. Or the beginning. Or maybe the middle.
Bored cops are the best sign of a successful event
My dad met Judy Garland when he worked here years ago
Summer’s here and the time is right, for dancing in the street…
Some insisted on wearing fur, despite the abundant sunshine
Businesses that reached out to the people passing by were amply rewarded
The LACBC’s volunteers seemed excited to have their picture taken
The LA Fire Department boarded bikes to keep the public safe…
… while Metro demonstrated what our bikeshare future will look like
Looks more like the road was opened for a change
To everything… there is a season…
Even Tito’s Tacos seemed to have all the business they could handle
You’re right about the understatement.
I set up about a quarter mile from the end of the ride in Venice and between 2pm and 3pm and did three two-minute counts of cyclists heading westward. Each time, I counted at least 150 riders, so that adds up to 4,500 per hour. And, of course, thats only heading in one direction — there were many heading back east. Granted, it was probably the busiest time for the event — but it was easily over 30K and probably close to 40K for the day.
Yea, Great Day at CICLAVIA!
I noticed that even Tit’s Tacos I passes by 3x had a ton of business despite her grave concerns.
You provided a perfect snapshot of the day.
