Five motorcyclists were arrested Saturday after performing stunts and showing other reckless behavior while on Bay Area freeways, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Dozens of motorcyclists did doughnuts and wheelies on more than one freeway, the CHP reported. CHP officers first were alerted by a helicopter just before 1 p.m. Saturday that about 200 motorcycles were pulling the dangerous maneuvers on southbound Interstate 880 at the Hegenberger Road exit. A passenger in a truck driving alongside the motorcycles filmed the activity, according to the CHP.

When officers tried to pull over the motorcycles, several of them fled onto westbound Highway 92 from Hesperian Boulevard. The CHP pursued the motorcycles into Redwood City, where they discontinued it for public safety reasons.

One officer eventually found one of those motorcycles and arrested that driver on suspicion of reckless driving, the CHP reported.

Two other officers pursued some of the fleeing motorcyclists onto Interstate 580 and onto city streets in Hayward and eventually arrested four of them on suspicion of reckless driving and felony evasion of an officer. The agency did not immediately identify any of the motorcyclists.
