From the Miami New Times;
For the second year in a row, motorcycles came to South Florida by the hundreds yesterday, popping wheelies and darting through traffic as they sped across Broward County and south into Miami. Police mostly left the mass ride alone as confused motorists took to social media in bafflement.
The ride wasn't a spontaneous ATV invasion, though — it was the second year running of a loosely organized MLK solidarity ride. Organized under social media hashtags such as #GunsDownBikesUp and #MLKrideout, the rides began as a protest last year after a popular dirt biker in Philadelphia was murdered.
