Update: New Brunswick Ciclovia Is Canceled

Update: Shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, organizers announced that they were canceling the New Brunswick Ciclovia because of the inclement weather that is forecast for Sunday.

The original story appears below:

The New Brunswick Ciclovia will be held Sunday.

The open streets event will close 3.2 miles of roads to vehicular traffic and open them up for walking, running, biking, skating and other fun activities.

“New Brunswick Ciclovia promotes the idea that our streets are a public asset that should be available to everyone,” a news release from the city said. “With more open space available for exercise and active living, residents can improve their health and outlook, create stronger connections with the community and simply enjoy their City on a deeper level.”

Ciclovia is sponsored by New Brunswick Tomorrow, the City of New Brunswick, Johnson & Johnson and Rutgers University. Those sponsors get help from many other community organizations.

The route will include 15 family-friendly activity stations, including a rock-climbing wall, Zumba and yoga classes, and an obstacle course.

There will also be free water and bike repair stations set up.

The free event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, and will include portions of Joyce Kilmer Avenue, George Street and College Avenue.

A map is available here.

Organizers say they will post weather updates on Twitter, but as of Friday morning, the event was still scheduled to take place.
