I. INTRODUCTION

The Inner City Cycling Connection (IC3) respectfully submits this proposal to the Mayor

of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles City Council seeking official endorsement and

support for the Inner City Cycling Extravaganza 2026, to be held in Leimert Park on

February 16, 2026, in celebration of Black History Month.

This annual event will celebrate the Legacy of Leadership and Black Excellence,

focusing on H.E.E.A.L.: Health, Education, Economics, Arts, and Legacy.

Our goal is to recognize and elevate Black success stories, past and present, while

fostering healthier lifestyles, community unity, and cultural pride through the accessible

and transformative power of cycling.

advocacy during the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade in Los Angeles. What began as a

grassroots initiative has evolved into a dynamic nonprofit organization focused on:

Cycling advocacy & safety

Youth mentorship & academic encouragement

Environmental stewardship & health awareness
