A feeder ride to CicLAvia
In Support of an Arroyo Seco Bikeway
and Healthy Transportation Alternatives
It was a beautiful Southern California Day, perfect for a bike ride with friends. One hundred cyclists, feeing into the Arroyo Seco Bikeway from the entire urban watershed, made their way down to the main CicLAvia event and to the So Cal CycloCross bicycle race and extravaganza.
A continuous, easily accessible, class 1, bikeway from Pasadena to Downtown Los Angeles would reduce traffic congestion, improve air and water quality, and enhance recreation opportunities in the Arroyo Seco Watershed. This annual event raises awareness of this goal. We hope you can join us next year for Arroyo CicLAvia.

The Route
The Arroyo Seco Bikeway
Slowly the Arroyo Seco Bikeway is becoming a reality. The County of Los Angeles has embarked on the first phase near the Arroyo Seco Confluence with the Los Angeles River.
Arroyo CicLAvia will promote the vision of a bikeway for fun and commuting between Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles.
?Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.?
- John F. Kennedy

The Arroyo Seco
The Arroyo Seco has been called the most celebrated canyon in Southern California. This spectacular corridor with a gentle river flowing through it links downtown Los Angeles with Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.
The Arroyo Seco is ideally suited to feature a bicycle path as viable transporation alternative. It's a gentle downhill ride of about ten miles from Pasadena to the downtown Los Angeles filled with scenic hightlights and cultural landmarks. The path would parallel the Gold Line train with six nearby stations so that bike riders take the train one way and ride the other in the spectacular natural setting of the Arroyo Seco.
It's a fun, refreshing and healthy alternative to freeway congestion.
