South Inglewood Bicycle Festival – April 2024

Let’s ride a bike!

The South Inglewood Bicycle Festival is back for a second year! This event brings together a wide variety of bicycling enthusiasts – from supporters to mechanics, from beginners to experienced cyclists, from commuters to mountain bikers to cargo haulers and more.

Bike Fun is grateful to have received a second year grant from the Inglewood Neighborhood Association in support of this event. We are also thankful for our returning location partner, the South Inglewood Community Center!

If there’s inclement weather, the Bicycle Festival will be held inside the South Inglewood Community Center. Otherwise, we’ll be outside!

What’s going on during the festival?

Rebecca Street will be a SLOW STREET! It will be CLOSED to anything other than residential traffic. You can access the community center parking lot via Moore. You can park on Branch, Moore, Shinkle, or Ann Streets.

In addition to the tables and activities from festival participants, Bike Fun will have 4 stations for attendees:

• a basic bicycle maintenance station (with kids bike giveaways)
• a station for traffic laws and safety guidelines
• a helmet fitting station (with adult & kid helmet giveaways)
• a station with crafts to make your bike or bike helmet more fun and visible
