This Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM the increasingly popular CicLAvia relocates to Wilshire Boulevard, turning what began as a path Henry Gaylord Wilshire cut through his barley field about 120 years ago into a car-free zone from Downtown to Fairfax Avenue for walking, biking, skating, loafing, shopping, goofing off and people watching. It’s a free event, no registration needed, and there is no starting or finish line. The forecast is lovely — partly cloudy, low 70’s — so give it a try!
