Twice a year, the city of Los Angeles sponsors
CicLAvia, which closes streets downtown to cars and lets the cyclists, runners, roller bladers, etc.. take over the streets.
It was conceived as a way to force Angelenos to interact with each other and think about our streets as a public, shared space, and it's become so wildly popular that it's starting to become a victim of it's own success, but despite the crowds, it was a wonderful way to cruise downtown. This event always leaves me with a huge smile on my face.

| Double Dutch in the street. |
 |
| Pinata district. Yes, this is a real thing. |
 |
| Fairy wings, and a sweet Xtracycle. |
 |
| Steel drums. Gave the intersection a Caribbean feel. |
 |
| Car-Free streets! Yay! |
 |
| Traffic jam |
 |
| 4th St. Bridge, downtown, closed to car traffic. |
The next event is in October, and I wish it was sooner. I always have such a good time!
