Thousands of bicyclists, skaters, runners and pedestrians are expected to take over the streets of Culver City and Venice on Sunday for the latest edition of CicLAvia.
The popular bike festival, which is held in different locations throughout the year, is intended to encourage people to abandon their cars for the day to explore their environment in other ways. The idea is to promote a clean environment and good health.
The Westside course will stretch six miles along Washington and Venice boulevards.
The free event runs between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and will force about a dozen street closures in the area that will last throughout the day.
