A horde of young people disrupted traffic on a major Philadelphia highway this weekend.

The incident was captured on camera and posted Sunday on social media by multiple witnesses.

Videos show hundreds of people on bicycles riding on Interstate 676/Vine Street Expressway in Center City. Spread across all the lanes of the eastbound side, the riders pop wheelies and swerve, preventing motor vehicles from using the roadway.

I get the gist of the question.

I think the problem is that there are no fathers. Young men fear/respect a father figure because they know that the line for insubordination like this will have on the other side a punishment that wont be his overweight, tattooed single mom yelling at him.

Teen boys do not fear females. A man that they know outweighs and outclasses him will give them second thoughts.

One has to wonder how they could afford those bikes?

Clemson University in South Carolina will no longer hold minority students accountable for tardiness. Instead, minorities’ culturally different “perception of time” must be tolerated.

Their perceptions of time sharpen considerably when it's time to end class, though, or knock off work. If the working day is 9 to 5, 9 is very nebulous, but 5, boy... focus starts sharpening at 4:30pm.

I’m surprised they aren’t on the other side of the expressway, myself, based upon behavior of cyclists of color in my area.

Oops, looks like the question to which we responded is not tolerated here.

Probably because it was painted with an incredibly broad brush...

They sold their Air Jordan’s, traded their Eagles jackets. But who knows how they could afford that.

Actually tax payers bought them.

I worked with one of these cultural pioneers in a restaurant years ago who would always show up an hour late when DST ended, and then would manage to do the same thing when DST began, instead of being an hour early, of course.

As an hourly employee, the genius still lost an hour of pay both ways, but considered himself smart enough to not have to actually work that hour twice a year.

Never overestimate the ability to function with a 60 IQ.

Isn’t it illegal to ride a bicycle on a highway?

Geez, at least here in SFL, I think <5hp is banned/illegal.

Did you watch the video? Were you surprised to find that the perpetrators were almost all “black”?
