Save-the-Dates for More #OpenStreets Fun in 2020!

One of Gabe's favorite things to do at the start of every new year is pull out his calendar and save-the-dates for more #OpenStreets | #ciclovia fun! At least 8 major ciclovias are scheduled to take place across Los Angeles County in 2020, not including all the events organizations are planning in other parts of California.

As huge fans of these transformative events, Gabe and his friends at #ActiveSGV team have once again put together a list of some of the most interesting and exciting ciclovias scheduled for the year ahead. The calendar includes several new routes and even one of the first twilight events in SoCal, appropriately scheduled for All Hallow's Eve!  Get a head start on creative costume ideas, and be sure to give Gabe and friends a high 5 if you seen them exploring car-free streets outside the San Gabriel Valley. 

Also, be sure to thank Metro Los Angeles staff if you see them. Their Open Streets Program makes most of these events possible!
