MODESTO (CBS13) – Hundreds of cyclists made their way through Modesto streets this past Saturday for a bike-riding event organized by the 209 Rippers bike group. 

“It was just to get the kids together in a community-style event as safely as possible and having fun along the way,” Kyle Brown, a leader of the 209 Rippers, said. 

Sara Vanaman Munson’s son Dakota took part in the event that did not go as planned. 

“It’s an event where people from all over California come to…meet up, track out a bike ride and they ride it, it’s giant,” Vanaman Munson said. 

According to the Modesto Police Department, the group was breaking traffic laws and blocking vehicles. Officers say they even tried to stop one cyclist who took off and then spit on them when they took them into custody.
