CiBiC is an experimental transportation research project to encourage group bike commuting among residents of the Northeast LA neighborhoods of Chinatown, Solano Canyon, Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, William Mead Homes, and adjacent areas.
We’re asking people to try commuting to work on bicycles in small groups – a cheaper, healthier, more sustainable, and potentially more satisfying alternative to cars.
It’s like carpooling but on bikes!
CiBiC is a collaborative research project led by UCLA and funded by the National Science Foundation. CiBiC studies how to support bicycle commuting in L.A. Participation in the research involves bicycle commuting with groups of residents and expert mentors. More Info: austin@mobilityjustice.org
You will use the CiBiC smartphone app, known as Pave, to find the directional route (or “flow”) and the group (or “pod”) of fellow riders that best suit both where you need to go and when you need to arrive at work. Beginners are welcome and first-time users can be assigned a one-on-one mentor to help get you started.
You will be paired with expert bicycle commuters in a group ride to and from your work. You’ll travel with your pod along well-planned routes to your job and then back home again. The routes will start from Northeast DTLA and travel along popular commuting directions, picking up riders along the way. We’ll train you on bike safety and the rules of the road, and support you every step of the way!
Participants will receive cash incentives to join the app and take the rides!
Registration has closed. Thank you to all participants for being a part of CiBiC!
