This Sunday: South L.A. Workshop, Ride and Fliering

CicLAvia South L.A. Host Committee members Tafarai Bayne TRUST South L.A. and Joe Linton CicLAvia - checking out the African American Firefighters Museum on Central Avenue

This Sunday – June 26th 2011 – show up to support CicLAvia’s South L.A. expansion! The CicLAvia South L.A. Host Committee has planned a series of monthly rides/workshops in advance of the October 9th CicLAvia event. The goals of the pre-CicLAvia events include getting the word out on CicLAvia, building more bike skills/knowledge, and having a great time riding together through South Los Angeles. Rides and workshops are in collaboration with the County Cycling Colaborative, including C.I.C.L.E., LACBC and many other awesome bike organizations, and funded by Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s RENEW initiative.

This Sunday’s free event is at Mercado La Paloma, 3655 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles 90007. Here’s the schedule:

10am – Free Workshop – bike fitting – selecting the bike that’s right for you, making your bike fit your needs

11am – Group Ride – easy, not a race – come explore the proposed South L.A. Route – help volunteer to distribute fliers to let folks know CicLAvia is coming to South L.A.! If you just want to ride together, great! If you can help volunteer – passing out fliers – even better! Spanish speakers a plus… everyone welcome!
