Tricked out, highly chromed bikes — or in this case, a trike–were fairly popular, mostly among young men. The helmet/hat on this little boy is darling although I don’t know what it is. A dinosaur, maybe? I’m sure, however, with a cool, spiky helmet like that the boy would not have to be reminded to wear it.
The latest installment of the no-cars-on-streets bicycling event dubbed CicLAvia was held on L.A. streets stretching from Boyle Heights to Echo Park to Chinatown last Sunday.
I will spare you the photos of Angelenos cruising along on their bikes. Take my word for it, there were thousands of healthy, mostly youngish people peddling around the route.
CicLAvia crowdsourced artwork
Instead here is some of what I saw at the ‘art hub’, entitled “The Big Draw L.A.”, in Grand Park outside City Hall as well as a couple of interesting bikes.

Haul the baby. Haul the school-age kid’s bike. Haul lunch and who knows what else with this custom bike. It appears someone added snail art to the handlebars of the child’s bike. There was a booth at this art hub offering to decorate bikes.Figurative art and abstract art side by side. All of this was created using strips of narrow colored tapes. Kids loved it. So did the adults! Not as messy as chalk art. Faster, too.A young artist working in colorful tape. I suspect this dinosaur-looking creature is a cartoon character but I don’t know which one.One tent in Grand Park offered ‘Sumi Ink’ with brushes and long rolls of paper. Kids and adults enthusiastically did their art bit and then the paper was hung up on a fence and another large piece of paper was rolled out on a table for the next group of painters to use.This DJ under another canopy was great! She played terrific danceable music with a Latin inspiration. Who knew that Rosemary Clooney’s “Hey Mambo”, a huge hit back in the 1950s, would sound so perfect on an hot October Sunday afternoon in the 21st century!
