A motorcyclist is interviewed by nearly every major media outlet

If you have no idea what’s going on around Amsterdam and 113th right now, read our earlier post first.

New updates:

  • Multiple police barricades are set up around Amsterdam
  • An NYPD helicopter has been sighted (and heard) roaming the skies.
  • Bikers are coming up from Brooklyn and Queens to join the group. According to this group, the other bikers are probably going to get stopped by the po-po.

According to the gathering group of motorcyclists, they’ve gathered peacefully to show their support for “a fellow biker who needs our help.”

Also: “We were upset at how we were represented in the media. It was one sided…Our goal was to get together as a community and show people that what the media says is not what we are.”
