The CicLAvia that went through East LA on October 5th, 2014 was so neat, but came in the middle of the semester so I didn't have time to write about it right then. The official route is shown below. Ten miles of closed streets with hubs at Echo Park, Mariachi Plaza, and the East LA Civic Center.
There were many iconic points along the route. This one reminds me of the film
To Live & Ride in LA (2010) about 15 minutes in where there's a nighttime race through LA that seems like it starts on this bridge with a view of downtown.
I didn't take a lot of photos, but I love the one above. We rode to the ride from our house, meeting at the library to ride with a group called
Walk Bike Glendale which is a local chapter of
Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. Our entire route is shown below.

Video for counting participants here: I counted 67 people in a 30 second window. This extrapolates to over 50,000 people!
