Baltimore City cracking down on illegal dirt bikes

In April, Baltimore Police arrested 11 people and seized 50 dirt bikes and other unregistered motor vehicles.

“We see an increase every year as soon as the weather breaks, you’ll see people start riding their dirt bikes and not just dirt bikes. It’s a summer thing to ride a two-wheel vehicle. It’s just that the dirt bike is illegal in Baltimore City," said Lt. Christopher Warren.

Police say many of these vehicles create noise and are a nuisance for community members, but not everyone has a problem with dirt bikes.

The organization B-360 is using dirt bikes in STEM related learning.

In March, they won grant money to create a dirt bike park.

“So having a brick and mortar gives you a place and a sense of belonging it also allows us to have a communal space right where we build further relationships because dirt bike riding helps further relationships," said Rashad Staton, executive director of CILA and advocate for B-360.

He says that having a space where dirt bikes can go won’t completely solve the issue of dirt bikes in the city, but it may help lesson the amount if the riders have a place they can go.

Local dirt bike and 4 wheeler retailers must be making a killing on all those purchases. Maybe they can throw a donation or two towards that new track. WMAR should've interviewed the stores who are selling all these dirtbikes in the city.
