Bay Area cyclists are on edge after two men bike-jacked a teenager in the East Bay Hills Wednesday morning.
Hoeper-Tomich said it was a similar scene to recent carjackings caught on dash cam video with the teen being boxed in before the bike-jacking.
Cyclists say this is the latest in a string of bike-jackings in the East Bay Hills, with Oakland police confirming that one happened on Redwood Road and Skyline Boulevard last month. Cyclists are trying to get the word out to the wider community. They urge people to ride in groups, not to wear headphones like AirPods, and to try avoiding riding on main roads.
