As we roll into another weekend of free (and Metro-accessible!) to-dos in Los Angeles, we wanted to give you a quick tip for those that like to get around on two wheels instead of four.
This Sunday, LADOT is teaming up with CicLAvia to celebrate the freshly installed safety features along Venice Blvd between National and Sepulveda. The public event runs 2 to 6 p.m. and offers guided group bike rides and walks along the new protected bike lanes, plus music, games, and other fun activities at a hub near Venice and Bagley. Also, it’s a cinch to access by Metro, either by taking the E Line to Culver City station, or by taking the 33 line along Venice Blvd.
But if bike rides and bus lanes aren’t your bag, well, we have a few other ideas too…
Free Things To Do This Weekend
Salsa Night at Ivy Station -> Kick off your weekend with salsa dancing at Ivy Station this Friday evening. Dance instructor Pepe Gonzalez teaches an intro salsa lesson from 6:30 to 7 p.m., then guests can use what they’ve learned during a live set by Fermin Fusion Salsa from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Free. Outdoors. Open to the public. More info here.
