Remember the recent utter nonsense of Perth Amboy cops being investigated for confiscating some bicycles from some teenagers? Well the story isn’t over yet. A group of older bikers organized a ride in support of the imbecile teens who were causing problems on Perth Amboy streets. Those teens were riding in huge packs across entire roadways, into oncoming traffic, popping wheelies and ‘swerving.’ Swerving is a dangerous game of chicken where a kid will go head to head with a car whose driver never agreed to this game. At the very last split second the bike, hopefully, swerves and misses the oncoming car by mere inches.

After police handcuffed a Perth Amboy teenager and confiscated his and three friends’ bicycles after a wheelie-filled ride through traffic captured on video last week, dozens of cyclists held a ride in support of their younger two-wheeled compatriots on Monday night.
“We wanted to support the young men who wanted to ride without being arrested,” said Alturrick Kenney, 44, a member of the largely Black, Newark-based RBG Cycling group, who is also the Essex County surrogate. “We feel that laws that discourage people from cycling should be removed from the books.”
