There\u2019s no bike lane on the western span of the Bay Bridge, so a few hundred bicyclists took that matter into their own hands and made the entire eastbound deck a bike lane Sunday, clogging traffic for about a half-hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are guessing that it is not a coincidence that on Sunday, which was August 6, a few hundred bicyclists took over the Bay Bridge<\/a> according to SFGate, and they just happened to do the same thing on August 6 of last year<\/a>. KTVU describes the bike riders as \u201cyoung bicyclists<\/a>,\u201d and social media posts from the bridge takeover indicate the crowd skewed younger than a Critical Mass ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure if the above type of Instagram post is the kind of post where you\u2019d want to publicly respond \u201cWe\u2019ll be there!!!,\u201d but some people did. This one seemed organized by an anonymous Instagram account called bayareatakeover2023<\/a> and has been promoting Sunday\u2019s ride<\/a> for nearly three months<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to SF Standard, the cyclists disrupted traffic on the western span of the bridge \u201cfor nearly a half an hour<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California Highway Patrol confirmed that the incident took place, and there were apparently no arrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These rogue cyclists may have glommed on to August 6 as their annual day to pull this stunt, but similar bike takeovers have happened on the Bay Bridge in January 2021<\/a> and January 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
