CicLAvia returns to the Westside for the first time since 2013 when "Culver City Meets Venice" takes place on Sunday, August 9.

The route will be a six-mile variation of the previous CicLAvia Westside route, allowing participants to explore more of Culver City’s neighborhoods and connect with the Mar Vista Farmers Market, Abbot Kinney and Venice Beach.

The Culver City Meets Venice route is made possible with a grant from Metro Los Angeles.

New to CicLAvia? Here are four things you need to know for August 9:

• It's FREE
• It's not a race and you don't need a bike to participate. You can walk or skate. 
• There's no beginning or end. You can start anywhere and go as far or as short as you want.
• The flow of participants goes both ways, just like regular traffic.
