In the first CicLAvia outside of the city limits of Los Angeles, the crowds really turned out. The Pasadena Police estimate that 40,000 cyclists were cycling–slowly I have to say–along Colorado Blvd. from Old Town Pasadena through the Playhouse District to Pasadena City College. For the first time in about three years I decided to ride my trusty old Trek bike on the 3.5 mile route. I have to thank the helpful people at Pasadena Cyclery for getting my bike back in working order. And thanks, too, to Trader Joe’s for handing out free bottled water near the Lake Ave. Hub.
The next CicLAvia will be in Culver City and Venice on August 9th. And If you would like to see photos of the Amgen Tour of California final stage at the Rose Bowl earlier this month go here.
Mostly I rode along with the other cyclists, but along the route I stopped every so often to snap some pictures and here they are in no special order.
