CicLAvia will open three miles of West Los Angeles streets to pedestrians, cyclists and other non-motorized travelers on Sunday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., marking the nonprofit's 65th open streets event and its first of 2026.
The new route connects Santa Monica Boulevard and Westwood Boulevard, passing through neighborhoods experiencing CicLAvia for the first time. The event is free and open to all ages and abilities.
"Opening streets to people reminds us that it's about reimagining what is possible and delivering what is memorable and transformative," said CicLAvia Executive Director Romel Pascual.
Two hubs will anchor the route. The Santa Monica Boulevard Hub is located west of Centinela, and the Westwood Hub is on Westwood Boulevard south of Le Conte. Both hubs offer family-friendly activities, restrooms, free water refilling stations, free basic bike repair, bike parking and first aid. Free pedicab rides are available at each hub's information booth. A pit stop on Santa Monica Boulevard near Purdue Avenue will offer water, restrooms and basic bike repair.
Only human-powered vehicles are permitted. Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes are allowed. Class 2 e-bikes are permitted with the throttle off. Class 3 e-bikes are allowed with pedal assist off. Manual and motorized wheelchairs are welcome. Electric scooters, electric skateboards, hoverboards and motorcycles are not allowed.
Participants can show up anywhere along the route between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. For route details and additional information, visit https://www.ciclavia.org/ciclavia_west_la26.
