(Video) 'Kill Da Streetz': Hundreds of bikers take over Denver roadways

This is what contributes to bad names for bikers. Idiots.

DENVER -- Hundreds of bikers 'killed da streetz' Sunday afternoon as they rode through Denver roadways in order to raise awareness of motorcyclists on the road.

During one their rides, the bikers momentarily shut down northbound I-25 near University Boulevard by performing tricks such as wheelies and donuts in the middle of the interstate. Hundreds of drivers were stalled. Many of them were upset by the demonstration.

"People that ride bikes recklessly and endanger everyone around them ruin it for the rest of us bikers who truly love to ride! I can only hope they get thrown in jail so I can enjoy the road without people hating me for just being on a motorcycle," said on person on Facebook.

"A lot of people were mad, but you know what, at the end of the day we’re all safe and everybody’s had a great day,” said one of the riders who asked not to be identified.

"[We] Had a couple cars try to cut us off and whatnot, but we were all able to steer around them and block them off,” said Brittany Casper, who rode in the event.

"I was driving in this as a large group got on 25 from 70. It was one of the most dangerous things I have ever seen on the freeway. They were weaving in between traffic in close proximity, doing tricks, and driving in the marginal - many were videotaping each other. All in freeway traffic. It was certainly not a 'look twice to save a life' biker event," said another upset commenter on the Denver7 Facebook page.

The bikers gathered in the area of Interstate 70 and in Northfield at 11:30 a.m., according to information released on a Facebook event page.

Casper said they rode as far north as Thornton, as far east as Aurora and south to Greenwood Village before ending the ride near I-25 and Colfax.

Riders told Denver7 the second annual event is a great way to make friends and bond as motorcyclists.

"I like motorcycles, you know? I’ve got my family with me, all my family honestly, I do what I do because it’s a thrill you know, it’s awesome,” said one rider who also asked not to be identified.

"We ride on two wheels, four wheels move the person, two wheels move the soul,” said another rider.

The group alleges the event was created to raise awareness of the dangers motorcyclists face on a day-to-day basis every time they take the road.

What about people who had LEGIT emergencies? Wife in labor, etc. I would be FURIOUS

 

As a big supporter for riding, this is just a major flippen fail. Wanna keep up awareness? Print some bumper stickers and have C-DOT put something in the LED boards an the highway.

This is just as much of a fail is the idiots with AR-15s in a damn Walmart preaching "it's my right" (Dave Chappell voice) and having no magazines and ammo on them. Idiots. Then they try to tell cops the law and wonder why they are in the back of a squad car.

Funny story. This year on Independance day, we went up to some of the mountains that are next to the city for the fireworks. It was very crowded and we decided to go back and there were a few cars/SUVs that decided to park in the middle of the road and block everyone. One car decided to say "we ain't moving. Tough shit"... Well that didn't work out to well for them. I asked her name so I could direct the angry 40 guys to her personally. She then insinuated that they were prepared for our asses (armed) and it got a little foggy after that. She moved... Best not to call someone out if your not prepared to back it up. Guess she failed to realize that she is not the only one with a weapon in the US.
