Four people have been arrested, 53 infringement notices were issued and a bike impounded following a mass three-hour bike ride across West Auckland streets. Waitematā Road Policing Manager acting Inspector Damian Albert said the event, which travelled across Henderson to New Lynn, attracted approximately 120 riders. He said police monitoring the event were disappointed that a portion of the group failed to comply with road safety messaging and legislation, resulting in the enforcement action. “These riders showed a complete disregard for others on the road, and we will continue to hold them to account and impound their bikes. “Police attempted to keep disruption for commuters to a minimum and hope that police enforcement action today sends a strong message about the seriousness of road safety.” Albert said officers were in a position to take appropriate enforcement action against those who chose not to follow road safety rules or engaged in any other anti-social behaviour along the way.
