Lots of Angelenos of all ages, shapes, and sizes making their way along miles of temporarily car-free streets &#8211; mostly on bike, but also on foot, skates, scooters, and more.<\/p>\n<p>This month&#8217;s CicLAvia had a special twist: Netflix sponsored the event as a celebration of the upcoming fifth season of Stranger Things, a show which does feature quite a bit of bicycling. Stranger Things themed activations appeared throughout event hubs and many &#8211; from cheer squads to creepy-monster-pedicabs to pedaled pizza-mobiles &#8211; moved through the event. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_04.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222653\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_04.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>Cyclists of all ages take to Melrose Avenue during CicLAvia<a href=\"https:\/\/lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_01.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222656\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_01.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>CicLAvia sees lots of bicyclists &#8211; and skateboarders too!<a href=\"https:\/\/lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_07.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222654\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_07.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>The tandem-powered musical BiciCr\u00f3fono making its way along Melrose<a href=\"https:\/\/lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_11.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222655\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_11.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>Training-wheeled cyclists taking the lane during CicLAvia<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222657\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_09.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/>Stranger Things tie-ins were visible all along the route &#8211; including billboards<a href=\"https:\/\/lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_03.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222658\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_03.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>Stranger Things bicycle-powered Surfer Boy pizza-mobile<a href=\"https:\/\/lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_05.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222659\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_05.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a>Free Stranger Things themed cookies and chips distributed to CicLAvia participants <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-222660\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/CicLAviaMelrose2025Nov23_10.jpg\"   loading=\"lazy\"\/>The Golden Apple comic book store spilled out on to the sidewalk, selling Stranger Things comics and more<\/p>\n<p>Readers &#8211; how was your experience at Sunday&#8217;s CicLAvia?
