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.
