CicLAvia Los Angeles Is A Facebook Environmental Bicycling Dessert-Chomping Mashup, So Just Go
At first Ciclavia looked like a lame "million trees" idea from Antonio Villaraigosa, but the bicycling community breathed big-time life into it. The city is closing 7.5 miles of Los Angeles streets, Sunday 10-3, for bicycling and walking. Get off your butts and go!
