It was bikes galore. CivLAvia—-Culver City to Venice Beach Sunday. How many bikes? How many bikes can one put in six miles of two-lane highway, going both ways? That is how many bikes.
Weather was overcast until about noon when the sun came out and it was hot. Lemonade stands, water, and fruit stands were the hot spots.
