Well, folks, if you were wondering what law and order looks like in a city run by progressive politics and “equity” initiatives, look no further than the spectacle that unfolded in Boston over the weekend. Over 100 bikers—yes, one hundred—decided that traffic laws were more like suggestions and turned a local highway into their personal playground. Bicycles, electric scooters, dirt bikes—if it had wheels and no regard for the rules, it was there. Think Mad Max meets critical mass with a splash of “nobody’s in charge.”
This all went down in the O’Neill Tunnel—an actual highway, mind you, not a skate park—just after 2 p.m. on Saturday. Massachusetts State Police were notified, but by then, the “rideout” was already well underway. Eyewitnesses described it as a “wagon train” of bikers flying through red lights and weaving between vehicles like it was a stunt show. One driver, clearly bewildered, thought it was a parade. A parade, folks. Except instead of floats and marching bands, you got helmetless daredevils playing Frogger with people’s lives.
And where was the police escort? Nowhere. Where were the cops? Good question. Probably busy dealing with a city whose leadership treats criminal behavior like a minor inconvenience—unless, of course, you parked your car an inch too far into the bike lane.
The only notable incident that got any real attention was when one of these fearless road warriors decided to collide with a state police cruiser. Spoiler: he didn’t stick around. He jumped off the bike and bolted like he’d just remembered he left the stove on. As for arrests? One. One person taken into custody out of over a hundred. That’s a 1% arrest rate, if you’re keeping score.
The lucky—or unlucky—arrest was 22-year-old Adam Harrison. He pleaded not guilty and is now claiming, in the most 2020s fashion possible, that he was just an innocent bystander who thought the whole thing “looked like fun.” Fun? Sir, this isn’t Mario Kart. It’s a major metropolitan freeway. But don’t worry, the court proceedings are off to a great start—his attorney didn’t even show up because of a bar advocate work stoppage. That’s right. Can’t make this stuff up.
Oh, and the silence from leadership? Deafening. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, a proud progressive who ran on transforming the city with her left-wing vision, had absolutely nothing to say. Zero. Zip. Nada. Maybe she’s drafting another climate equity memo while her city turns into an open-air circus. Meanwhile, regular Bostonians—tax-paying, law-abiding folks—are left watching their commute turn into a live-action episode of “Jackass.”
Witnesses described the event as “scary” and “chaotic.” One even said they didn’t hear the bikers until it was too late—because, apparently, this group of road anarchists decided to announce themselves by revving their engines like a swarm of angry bees. No helmets. No permits. No accountability.

Here’s the thing. When you create a city culture where consequences are optional and “expression” trumps enforcement, this is what you get. A rogue biker gang parading through downtown traffic while law enforcement twiddles its thumbs and elected officials hide behind vague press statements—if they say anything at all.
100+ people were seen riding dirt bikes, electric bikes, etc. through Boston and on the highways this weekend.
One of the alleged riders was arrested and is expected to appear in court today.

Boston used to be a city of history, grit, and some good old-fashioned common sense. Now? It’s a cautionary tale in what happens when leadership decides to sit this one out. And if you’re wondering whether this kind of nonsense is coming to a city near you—well, buckle up.
