Photos: Cyclovia returns to Tucson after pandemic pause
After being on a pandemic pause for the last two years, Cyclovia returned to the streets of Tucson for a variety of activities, food and entertainment.
Thousands gathered throughout Downtown and the Southside of Tucson to ride, walk and connect along 5 miles of car-free streets.
People were able to get in some exercise, talk with local businesses and community resources as well well as watch local musicians and participate in family-friendly activities, according to Living Streets Alliance.
