Pasadena will open its streets to CicLavia participants for the first time from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. The route covers 3.5 miles, mostly along Colorado Boulevard, and it’s perfect for walkers, bikers and skaters to explore surrounding shops, parks and historical sites in the area.

Those who wish to go car-free to the event can access the route via Metro buses or three Metro Gold Line Stations: Del Mar, Memorial Park and Lake Station. Plus, Go Metro and show your TAP card at the South Lake Avenue Hub for 15% off on CicLAvia T-shirts!

Here’s what you should know about bus and rail service during CicLAvia:

On Sunday, Metro will run all Gold Line trains every 7 ½ minutes. Most trains will operate with three cars to accommodate extra bikes and people on board.

If you’re traveling by bus, expect street closures to begin at 6 a.m. Sunday morning until 6 p.m. Sunday night along Colorado Blvd. between Orange Grove Blvd. and Allen Avenue. Some Metro buses will be impacted, including:  Lines 180, 256, 260 and 687. See details on bus detours below.

Buses and trains can get crowded fast during CicLAvia, so please follow proper bike etiquette! Here’s a friendly reminder on how to bring your bike on board without getting squished.

• Expect reduced bike rack availability on buses: If the bike rack is full, wait for the next bus or bike to the nearest Metro Rail station.
• Use entire platform length when boarding for more seating and bike space availability. Large groups should separate and enter through different doors to reduce crowding and delays.
• Please board with bikes using designated doors, as marked with yellow decals.
• Always walk your bike within Metro stations, on platforms or onboard trains.
• Folding bikes are allowed on board buses
• For everyone’s safety, do not bring bikes on escalators; use the stairs or elevators instead.
• Elevator priority should be given to customers with disabilities.
• Do not use emergency exit gates at turnstiles except during emergencies or unless directed by law enforcement or Metro personnel.
• Here are some Safe Bicycling Tips.
• Please visit CicLAvia’s website for more event information.
