CicLAvia – Heart of LA will celebrate what has become a Los Angeles institution on October 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a fifth-year anniversary route.

Heart of LA will have six miles for participants to explore by bike, foot, skateboard, wheelchair and other non-motorized traffic. The route will take people through Boyle Heights, the Arts District, Little Tokyo, Civic Center, Chinatown, Historic Core and as far west as Macarthur Park.

New to CicLAvia? Here are four things you need to know for October 18:

– It’s FREE!
– It’s not a race and you don’t need a bike to participate. You can walk or skate to your heart’s content.
– There’s no beginning or end. You can start anywhere and go as far or as short as you want.
– The flow of participants goes both ways, just like regular traffic.
