Join People for Mobility Justice for a ride celebrating the art and culture of South LA.**RIDE ATTENDANCE WILL BE CAPPED AT 30 PARTICIPANTS TO ENSURE LIMITED ATTENDANCE AND SAFE DISTANCING **
Join People for Mobility Justice for a beautifully curated ride around South LA presented by Metro’s Bicycle Education Safety Training (BEST) Program . Participants will get a chance to experience some incredible artwork while getting to know about the neighborhoods that make South LA so unique. Stops will include cultural landmarks as well as small businesses and local vendors. Self-guided ride materials will be made available after the ride.
Pre-registration and attendance confirmation is required for all participants. Once you are registered, we will send you a waiver and location information to confirm your attendance. If you are attending with other family members, each person must be registered separately in order to attend. Register now to guarantee your spot!
While this ride is being organized by PMJ and South LA residents and funded by Metro, we strongly encourage all who will be going on this ride to reflect on how the impact of gentrification and displacement have changed South LA communities. Support local businesses and vendors, be respectful of the community, and be mindful of the spaces you will be visiting.

Safety Protocols
We will be observing strict protocols during the ride to ensure safety and comfort for all participants and instructors. The entire ride will be conducted outdoors to maximize physical distancing. Please keep in mind the following rules while attending the ride:
-You must confirm your attendance in advance of the ride so we know to expect you and hold your spot. Every attendee must sign-in and complete a waiver .
-If you are feeling sick or unwell, please stay home. There are many virtual class and self-guided ride options still available.
-Even if you are fully vaccinated , please bring a mask or face covering to wear at ride stops and socially distance from others on the ride not in your household. If you are not yet fully vaccinated , you are still required to wear a mask or face covering outdoors when you cannot keep a safe distance while exercising (at least 8 feet).
-Staff and ride marshals reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who does not follow these protocols (e.g., arrives without prior registration, does not complete waiver, refuses to wear a mask).
This event is made possible by Metro Los Angeles and People for Mobility Justice.
