Authorities said they stopped a large group of cyclists that intended to take over the Bay Bridge on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The California Highway Patrol said they alerted San Francisco police of a large group of cyclists riding recklessly on city streets, believed to be heading to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to enter the roadway and take over the bridge.<\/p>\n
Officials noted the cyclists were seen riding directly at moving cars, swerving in and out of traffic and coming close to pedestrians on city streets.<\/p>\n
As CHP and San Francisco PD responded to the area, authorities said SFPD Real Time Investigations Center began tracking the group and updating the officers.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the group entered the bridge riding the wrong way up the Harrisson Street off-ramp, according to police. There, they met a group of CHP and SFPD personnel.<\/p>\n
The California Highway Patrol said 85 participants were detained, cited for riding a bicycle onto a freeway and released. 85 bicycles were also seized by law enforcement on scene, according to authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities said they stopped a large group of cyclists that intended to take over the Bay Bridge on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[24379,143,145,144],"class_list":{"0":"post-242671","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-bay-bridge","9":"tag-oakland","10":"tag-oakland-headlines","11":"tag-oakland-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
