Historic South Central Meets Watts

Join us for the 62nd Los Angeles open streets event: CicLAvia.

CicLAvia closes streets to car traffic and opens them for people to walk, skate, bike, play and enjoy parts of Los Angeles County. Our route will connect historic South Central, Florence Firestone and Watts. This fun event is free, family friendly and safe. A great way to explore historic areas on bikes. We'll even take a sort 1-mile ride just off the route, to visit the historic Watts Towers.

Please arrive early to secure parking near by and make your way to our meeting spot. We roll at 9:00.
