CicloSDias returns to San
Diego to bring people out of their cars and into the streets
Back by popular demand, the San
Diego County Bicycle Coalition proudly announces its second-ever CicloSDias
in the streets of Pacific Beach on Sunday, March 30. The open streets
celebration gives communities a break from the stress of car traffic, promotes
local business and establishes San Diego as a commuter-friendly city that
embraces all forms of transportation. The Bike Coalition, an organization
advocating for and protecting the rights of all people who ride bicycles,
remains the event’s main sponsor and local organizer.
On Sunday, March 30, CicloSDias
invites all family members (including four-legged ones) to spend the day
riding, walking, strolling and skipping though one of San Diego’s most popular
destinations, Pacific Beach. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. a few miles of north
Pacific Beach will become streets free of automobiles and newly transformed
into a space for the community to play.
“This is a chance for all people to explore and enjoy this
neighborhood as they never could before,” said Andy Hanshaw of the San Diego
County Bicycle Coalition. “CicloSDias represents a shift in the way we think
about our streets and the possibilities outside of automobiles, especially in
crowded areas abundant with local businesses like Pacific Beach.”
At the first-ever CicloSDias on August 11, 2013, over 10,000
San Diegans turned out to ride, scoot and skate in 5.2 miles of car-free
streets through Golden Hill, North Park and South Park. Everything from
four-person tandem bicycles to roller derby teams rolled along as street
performances came to life on the sidewalks and local businesses overflowed with
a surge of people shopping local.
As the date approaches, more specific
information will be available. In the meantime, roll with CicloSDias at www.ciclosdias.com. For daily updates,
