Police Trap Over 85 Bicyclists Wreaking Havoc On Freeway In California

This was solid police work.

A planned takeover of a California bridge by bicyclists was thwarted by California Highway Patrol officers over the weekend.

The large group of bicyclists, mostly composed of youth, attempted to block off the Bay Bridge in San Francisco until police were able to trap them.

ABC 7 News reported more on the officer’s moves:

Police and California Highway Patrol officers stopped a planned takeover of the Bay Bridge by dozens of cyclists Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

San Francisco police said department drones tracked the group as they rode the wrong way up the Harrison Street off-ramp toward the bridge’s lower deck.

Officers moved in and formed blockades at both ends of the on-ramp, preventing the cyclists from entering the bridge.

About 85 citations were issued, and 85 bicycles were confiscated, police said.

ABC7 Eyewitness News reached out to the San Francisco supervisor, Danny Sauter, who backed the tougher consequences passed late last year, asking whether regular bicycles should also be included in that legislation. He says, “Our office has been focused on reducing sideshow and dirt bike activity. This past week’s actions show the need for enforcement and deterrents to this behavior which can be dangerous and put lives at risk. We’ll continue to consider any and all tools we have as a city to respond to prevent and deter this behavior.”

Authorities reported the group had been seen swerving in and out of traffic and coming dangerously close to pedestrians before attempting to access the bridge.

USA Today reported police in San Francisco do not see it as harmless fun but rather dangerous behavior:

“What we saw yesterday was not harmless fun. This is no place for games or risky behavior. Riding the wrong way on the freeway poses a serious danger not only to cyclists but also to the motoring public traveling at freeway speeds,” said Tim McCollister, captain with the CHP San Francisco division.

“Our priority is safety, and actions like this put lives at risk and disrupt critical transportation corridors. We will continue to enforce the law and hold individuals accountable to prevent a tragedy before it occurs.”
