10/19-25 Join @CommonSenseEdu and parents across the USA and #HaveTheTalk with your kids

Grown-ups dread it. Kids need it. It's time to have The Talk.You don't want kids learning about the birds and the bees on the playground. And when it comes to navigating social media, online games, smartphones, and the Internet, it's best for kids to get their info from a trusted source. With 92 percent of teens going online daily and nearly three-quarters of kids age 0–8 using apps, having The Talk is an essential rite of passage.

As parents and educators, we want to raise kids to be safe, responsible, and ethical in the digital world. Giving kids a solid understanding of how we expect them to behave -- both online and off -- starts everyone off on the right foot. Plus, it's actually a lot easier than that other talk.

returns Sun 10/18 (9a-4p) with their 6 mile Heart of LA Route! #bikeLA @LACBC @cicLAvia 

CicLAvia - Heart of LA will celebrate what has become a Los Angeles institution on October 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a fifth-year anniversary route. CicLAvia began as an idea with an uncertain outcome when it first removed cars from the streets of downtown Los Angeles on October 10, 2010. Now, five years, fourteen events and hundreds of thousands of participants later, CicLAvia is the largest open streets event in North America.

Heart of LA will have six miles for participants to explore by bike, foot, skateboard, wheelchair and other non-motorized traffic. The route will take people through Boyle Heights, the Arts District, Little Tokyo, Civic Center, Chinatown, Historic Core and as far west as Macarthur Park. 

New to CicLAvia? Here are four things you need to know for October 18:

• It's FREE!
  
• It's not a race and you don't need a bike to participate. You can walk or skate to your heart's content.
  
• There's no beginning or end. You can start anywhere and go as far or as short as you want.
  
• The flow of participants goes both ways, just like regular traffic.
