Cyclovia Spring 2026: A Biannual Snapshot of Our Event
On Sunday, April 12th, Cyclovia returned to the Downtown - Amphi route, last highlighted in Fall, 2023. This route explores Tucson’s first bike boulevard, the 6th/Fontana Avenue Bike Boulevard, which runs from downtown through the Amphi neighborhood and runs through the Amphi, Keeling, Feldman’s and Historic 4th Avenue neighborhoods. Thanks to the hundreds of participants who took our Cyclovia Census, we have a snapshot of how the day was enjoyed, and what longterm changes are made due to the expansive, community-centered experience that Cyclovia Tucson offers. A huge thank you as well to our Census Volunteers who collected this important data!
Below are some highlights of Tucson’s biggest open street event:
150 bicycles repaired and 130 bike helmets distributed
Over 1,000 hours of volunteer time donated to the event
55 nonprofit and community organizations participated
31 local businesses featured along the route
