There are a couple of Metro stations nearby, if that is easy for you, and other modes of public transportation to help you arrive at the ocean-close event.<\/p>\n<p>So will you skate in the traditional Venice spots in the morning then zip your way to Culver City in the afternoon? Or vice versa? <\/p>\n<p>After all, dancing down the middle of Venice Boulevard via the tiny wheels under your feet, with no vehicles in sight, is a rare roller skating pleasure, perhaps one of the rarest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to Know CicLAvia Culver City Meets Venice presented by Metro Aug. 17, 2025; 9 a.m. to 4&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":143741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,15842,3778,246,2961,224,5337,9176],"class_list":{"0":"post-143740","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-culver-city","11":"tag-cycling","12":"tag-family","13":"tag-la","14":"tag-los-angeles","15":"tag-losangeles","16":"tag-venice"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115024334935288335","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
