Dia de los Muertos Celebration at L.A. Eco-Village, Sat. Nov 2, 2013 from 7pm to midnight

What: Dia de los Muertos Celebration with Jimmy Lizama and friends

When: Saturday, November 2, 2013 from 7pm to midnight

Where: 140 Bimini Place, Los Angeles Eco-Village, 90004

It’s Daylight Savings on November 3rd! That means it’s darker earlier and
that means it’s probably a good time to talk about DYNAMOS

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_dynamo#Dynamo_systems)!

I won’t have anything bicycle to sell you on November 2nd, but I want to introduce all you
discerning bicyclists to the little place by having a space warming party!

Please grace us with your good vibes and honor our past ones on who can’t be
here in the flesh to party with us in this Dia De Los Muertos celebration.

Much love and respect.

-El Pinche Jimmy*

Building a Bike Movement in Autopia: An Experiment in Group Ethnography, Fri., Apr. 12, 2013 at 7pm

What: Building a Bike Movement in Autopia: An Experiment in Group Ethnography Where: L.A. Eco-Village (directions) When: Friday, April 12, 2013 from 7 to 9 pm

Come join us for an experimental event where participants in the Los Angeles bike movement will create a group ethnography of the movement’s growth and impact on wider transportation culture in L.A. We will reflect on the history and future of bicycling in a famously car-dominated city, using ethnography as a tool for understanding social change. Rather than producing a definitive history of L.A.’s bike movement, the outcome of the event will be a website (http://labikemvmt.org/) where different narratives and timelines are available to researchers, advocates, and members of the public.

This event is open to anyone interested in experimental ethnography or transportation culture and policy in Los Angeles. It’s being organized by former ecovillager Adonia Lugo as part of the Bicicultures Roadshow, a series of talks and activities happening in L.A. and Davis in April that focus on qualitative studies of bicycling, with facilitation by Ron Milam, another former ecovillager and the founding executive director of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. Sponsored by the Center for Ethnography at UC Irvine.

CicLAvia Sunday, October 6, 2013 from 9am to 4pm, Heart of LA

What:   CicLAvia
Where:     Heart of LA, downtown and extensions
When:      Sunday, October 6, 2013 from 9am to 4pm

More information:

To plan your CicLAvia activities for Sunday, October 6, go here:
http://www.ciclavia.org/

CicLAvia: Heart of LA returns to the streets that started it all as we explore downtown Los Angeles on bike, foot, stroller and many more creative means of locomotion. The Heart of Los Angeles route follows in the footsteps of our first five events and helps Angelenos rediscover the origins of the City of Angels. Whether you’ve ridden these streets before or are new to CicLAvia, the Heart of LA route promises something new to discover.

CicLAvia makes the streets safe for people to walk, skate, play and ride a bike. There are activities along the route. Shop owners and restaurants are encouraged to open their doors to people along the CicLAvia.

Ciclovías started in Bogotá, Colombia, over thirty years ago as a response to the congestion and pollution of city streets. Now they happen throughout Latin America and the United States.

Connecting communities and giving people a break from the stress of car traffic. The health benefits are immense. Ciclovías bring families outside of their homes to enjoy the streets, our largest public space. In Los Angeles we need CicLAvia more than ever. Our streets are congested with traffic, our air is polluted with toxic fumes, our children suffer from obesity and other health conditions caused by the scarcity of public space and safe, healthy transportation options. CicLAvia creates a temporary park for free, simply by removing cars from city streets. It creates a network of connections between our neighborhoods and businesses and parks with corridors filled with fun. We can’t wait to see you at CicLAvia!

Support CicLAvias by participating. We can make it happen every week, and, perhaps, some day, every day!

CicLAvias got started in LA with former L.A. Eco-Villagers and bicycle activists Bobby Gadda and Adonia Lugo with the first ones organized by Joe Linton with support from the City of Los Angeles and our then Mayor Villaraigosa.
