Event Description
It’s not just an event, it’s a movement for the safety of all on the streets of California.
Join hundreds of cyclists to enjoy the beautiful scenery and back roads of Griffith Park. Our rides take you on a journey through the park and surrounding areas. Top it all off with our wonderful end event venue, The Autry Museum.
The event benefits:
Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) – a non-profit organization whose mission is to aim to improve the quality of life for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers alike by working to reduce traffic caused fatalities to Zero. SAFE addresses this problem in a holistic fashion through direct education, broad awareness campaigns, partnerships, community outreach, policy and legislation, support for those impacted and other proven strategies.
Walk N' Rollers (a project of LACBC) -- encourages children to walk and bike to school more often and more safely. Walking and biking to school not only helps kids and activity to their day while reducing traffic pollution around schools, but teaches kids life-long lessons like good decision making, responsibility and community awareness.
