bike party, nearly hitting multiple cyclists. Witnesses say the driver made no effort to stop or slow down.
"I was shocked and enraged, frankly," said Ben Gerhardstein, who was taking part in the event. Gerhardstein is also with the advocacy group "Walk Bike Berkeley." He said at least one person was injured and there were many close calls. The bike party is a monthly community-based event and celebration for people who love riding bikes. Some participants deck out their bikes in bright lights and play music. The group then rides together on a planned route.
"I was angry," said Oakland City Councilmember Dan Kalb after viewing the video. He said the driver should be held accountable for what he called, "dangerous behavior."
