Ciclavia

On Sunday, Mom and Dad took me up to Los Angeles to be a part of an event called "CicLAvia". (www.ciclavia.org) It is a day where the city streets are open to bikes, runners, people with strollers, skateboarders, rollerbladers, etc...you get the point! Ciclovías started in Bogotá, Colombia, over thirty years ago as a response to the congestion and pollution of city streets.  CicLAvia (cic-L.A.-via.....get it?!!) started just a few years ago and is now becoming a huge event.

Here is a picture of people in Bogotá:



 Here is a picture of people in L.A. yesterday: 

Mom and Dad were soooo excited to get out of the house on this beautiful sunny day. Can you tell?  They were also excited to see that L.A. is becoming more bike friendly these days. See that green stripe on the road? That's the new bike lane in downtown.

Luckily there was a picnic area for kids like me because I needed a break from all that stroller time. See that look on my face? I am checking out which bike I'd like Mom and Dad to buy me when I grow up. Mom doesn't know it yet, but I have expensive taste.
