Starting from Hekili Street, near Pāli Lanes bowling alley, participants trekked along a 3-mile rout




Hele in Hawaiian means to go, and that s exactly what the Kailua community did this weekend by way of their feet and wheels. Pedestrians, runners, skaters and bicyclists took part in Hawai i s first of its kind car-free event called Cyclovia.
Starting from Hekili Street, near Pāli Lanes bowling alley, participants trekked norwegian caribbean cruises along a 3-mile route. Ciclovias Spanish for bike paths originated in Colombia as weekly events where streets are cleared for pedestrians and bicyclists. Eventually, the trend caught on in American cities; hence, the word has since been modified to Cyclovias.
I didn t take part in the cycling portion of the event but did make it in time to check out the different health and wellness booths, as well as watch the entertainment. Several people I talked to were visiting from Arizona, norwegian caribbean cruises where Cyclovia is a major event for the city of Tucson. Hundreds show up every year. No word yet on when the next Cyclovia Hawai i will be, but I m hoping other towns in the state will want to take part in it as well.
Kailua norwegian caribbean cruises is the perfect town to launch this event because it s mostly flat-land, and the community in general is fairly health-conscious. You might have noticed the bicycle rental stations throughout norwegian caribbean cruises the windward town, which has become a great way for visitors to explore the island on two wheels. Not only are these recent additions promoting healthy living, but they also keep gas costs down for visitors on a budget.
Since 2006 Bruce Fisher has been publishing the Hawaii Vacation Blog and the Hawaii Vacation Connection Podcast which, create daily content about Hawaii Travel and Tourism. norwegian caribbean cruises This Blog is the only online resource providing Hawaii-based information aimed at travelers seven days per week. Postings reflect the Hawaiian Islands, their culture and their lifestyle as accurately and thoroughly as possible.
Kailua is such a wonderful Hawaiian town with a real sense of community. Cyclovia is another exceptional idea to bring residents together. I was a long time Kailua resident norwegian caribbean cruises who now lives on the mainland, wishing I was back in Kailua !!
