Business Participation

CicLAvia transforms streets into safe, car-free spaces for thousands of people to bike, walk, play, and explore. This event is free, family-friendly, and open to the public—and a great opportunity to showcase your local business to the community!

If your business is on or near the route, you'll experience the following during a CicLAvia Sunday:

• Thousands of people enjoying the car-free streets on foot, bike, scooter, skateboard, or wheels
• Happy people looking to support restaurants, shops, and businesses in the community
• Safe, fun, family-oriented activities at hubs and along the route 
• Businesses and community groups activating sidewalks and other spaces along the route
• Participants making use of the restrooms, free water, first aid, trash/recycling, bike parking, free bike repair, and information booths provided by CicLAvia along the route
• Traffic, safety, and crowd control services in place along the route and at car crossing points

How to Take Advantage of the Thousands of Potential Customers Passing by your Door

Here are some tips for engaging thousands of potential new customers.

• Plan to be open the day of the event. Make your storefront visible with signs and banners.
  
  
• Bring your business outside. Do you have permission to use the parking lot or sidewalk adjacent to your business? Bring products, music, activities, or seating outside. Remember to maintain the required 4' clearance for ADA access. (Please note: no stationary objects are allowed in the street.)

• Help get the word out. Display a CicLAvia poster or give event postcards to your customers. Request supplies at [email protected].
  
  Print Your Own Event Poster. Simply, download one of these event posters to post at your business.
