For the second time in less than a week, I've witnessed two separate riders riding motocross bikes on Corliss Street between 12:30-1pm. One guy (wearing Dre Beats no less) came down Corliss and turned on to Chartiers at the gas station, and just a few minutes ago, I saw another riding up Corliss and turned on to Dubois Street. I used Google Maps to look over that area to see if I could see trails in the woods and I think I do, also found a creepy looking property on Dickens Street too, but was wondering if any of you live in that area and know where they are riding, or if they are just a part of the trend we see illegally riding city streets

Young urban black men ride dirt bikes and ATVs on city streets. They usually ride in groups.

there used to be a good bit of people who would ride dirt bikes around McKinley park and through beltzhoover/ bon air/ mt Oliver. I have not noticed much of it lately though, so perhaps the cops have cracked down on it a bit.

One of my coworkers said he notices a number of kids riding them when he leaves around 5-6pm. I looked on Google maps and the area off of Dubois street looks like there are some makeshift trails up there. The guy I saw turn on to Chartiers Ave sounded like he cut in to the woods and ended up heading up towards Dubois street. There's one property I saw on Dickens St, looks like someone living in a junk yard
