Weekly Roundup: CicLAvia. CicLAvia. CicLAvia!

CicLAvia keeps coming and you can’t do nothing to stop it. We’re already up to #14 and at this rate we’ll exceed the number of Wrestlemania’s by 2019.

My initial thought after the Venice/Culver City reveal was, “August 9th? People will melt”. Remember though, that’s from a valley perspective where it’s roughly three times hotter than the westside.

Correct math aside, this event was another predictable hit. Even the Tito’s Tacos controversy even reinforced why CicLAvia’s are so successful. People + parking with bikes = profits!

As for me, I was stationed at the LACBC booth the entire day being Mar Vista fabulous. I did wander around the hub and dispatched Mrs. CiclaValley and progeny to shoot some pics, but from my limited info, I’m guessing this was the most well attended CicLAvia of the year.

Not a shot at the valley. We’ve had only one crack at it. On to the photos:

I never met the owner of this vehicle, but I bet if he could spend more to turn his van into the Yellow Submarine, I know he would.
