Ride The Bay Protest Update

I was at the Berkeley park on the 9th. There were tons of riders there, along with skateboarders. That park get's crowded with 5 people there because of the shitty layout. Anyways; we all rode together swimmingly.

A cop did show up and we all exited the park without being asked to leave. Almost everyone waited for a few minutes for the cop to leave, and decided to hit up the biker friendly park Alameda.

Before leaving, I noticed the cop talk to a skateboarder for a bit. I waited to talk to the skater after the cop left, and it seems that the police dept of Berkeley does not want to be called about bmxer's in the park anymore! The cop also said that they legally can't do anything, because a huge majority of skaters were not wearing helmets and pads, so theoretically; everyone is breaking the law.

Keep up the presence at Berkeley park. This place will be the first park on the list of Single park protests in the coming year.
