CicLAvia is still young — 15 hours young, to be exact, since each event lasted five hours, and there have been three. But some people who thought it would never work can't help but wonder if CicLAvia isn't more than just an event — that is, might it just be a revolution?

I rather see more horses, donkey's and bikes, instead of the cars going down the road! Horses, and donkey's would create jobs for many unemployed to clean up the gift the animals leave behind!

Kudos to Hillel Aron for a well-written story on how CicLAvia successfully transforms L.A. into a 'human scale.'! It accurately captures how CicLAvia can have a positive effect on L.A.'s collective senses... the quiet of rolling conversations on bicycles, the scents and odors of the city, the taste of restaurants you'd otherwise just drive by, and seeing the infectious smiles had by everyone at CicLAvia!

I live right on the route, the thing that I love the most about Ciclavia is just how quiet it is, just like a Sunday morning should be. Here's to more quiet Sundays and all the much-needed public space the event brings.

Kudos to the Weekly and staff - especially editor Jill Stewart and write Hillel Aron - on a well-researched and beautifully written piece. It's a wonderful tribute to Los Angeles and the many changes afoot in our backyard! Sure, I have a vested interest and yes, I am happy about this piece. But it's about this entire city and just how far we can go when we st our sights high!

Wow! LA Weekly surprises me with a pro alternative transit article. There was a 50% chance the article could have been titled "Zealous Bicycle Activists seize downtown" and write a sob story about how one person has to walk to the corner store. But yea, good article.

Right? Its bizarre how they are so anti-alternative transit when writing about the Purple or Expo lines, but so pro-alternative transit in this article. More articles from Hillel Aron and less from Patrick Range McDonald please.

Ciclavia really opened up my eyes to how friendly and fun downtown can be, the sense of community that it fostered reminded me why I love LA.
