San Franciscans angered over illegal dirt bikes on city streets 'They've gotten bolder!'

San Francisco, CALocal News

San Francisco residents are voicing their outrage over the increasing prevalence of illegal dirt bike activity on city streets, citing a lack of enforcement from authorities. Footage from local residents shows dirt bikes recklessly weaving through traffic, prompting concerns about public safety. City Supervisor Danny Sauter has labeled this issue as his office's number one priority, stressing that such dangerous activities have no place in the city's dense neighborhoods. While some riders argue that their actions are a form of cultural expression and nonviolent protest, many locals perceive it as a growing threat to safety. Residents report feeling intimidated by the groups, which often disrupt traffic and ride on sidewalks.

Calls for tailored regulations are increasing, with suggestions that drones could be employed to monitor and identify illegal riders. Despite the community's concerns, the San Francisco Police Department has not provided clarity on current enforcement measures. The debate continues as the city grapples with balancing cultural expression and public safety.
