Unfortunately, this event was not planned as well as it had been in past years. The venue was very small and the custom bicycles that people rode were not allowed inside of the main event, forcing folks to park and stay by their bikes outside as many did not plan for locks etc. This caused the street to become congested. The person, whom I assume was in charge was constantly yelling at people to exit the street as the Police were present and assumably reported they would shut the event down? Either way, he could have handled the situation much friendlier, as it was their lack of planning that created the issue.
As far as the post above, I witnessed that exchange, here's how it went down, the girl was riding away as he was yelling, she yelled frustratingly for him to quit yelling at folks (he was really annoying and rude) He yelled some obsenities, she stopped, he called her an inappropriate name, she left. I don't blame her, we left within minutes after that. I did hear after the fact that the ride was actually really fun, hopefully next year they will find a better location or have different people sponsor the event.
