Metro Sponsors the Rock ‘n Two Wheel Rollin’ Concert Ride,
led by C.I.C.L.E.!
From park to park, rock
and roll on two wheels down to Levitt Pavilion for some irresistible tunes!
On Saturday, July 20th, 2013, through a
sponsorship by Metro, C.I.C.L.E., with Bici Libre, will beat the summer heat
with an evening bicycle ride to hear live music under the stars. We'll bike from
the Exposition Park Rose Gardens to MacArthur Park to experience the unique
sounds and beats of Mucca Pazza at Levitt Pavilion!
Find out what's happening in Northridge-Chatsworthwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
The ride will connect two
beautiful green public spaces in Los Angeles, stopping at MacArthur Park for the
infectious sounds of Mucca Pazza, a not so typical marching rock ‘n roll band.
Join us for an evening of drums, mandolins, accordions, dancing, and bikes! Feel
free to pack a picnic or bring cash to enjoy Mama’s International Tamales that
will be available at the show. Participants will learn about points of interest
to explore along the route and at either end.
As with all C.I.C.L.E. rides, this ride is family-friendly, leisurely paced and will return to the starting point at the end of the evening. C.I.C.L.E. rides are fully supported, led by trained Ride Leaders and volunteers. This ride is 8 miles. Prior to the ride we will address safe street riding and group ride etiquette to ensure smooth sailing. Bici Libre will provide free bicycle valet.
