One June 21st, several hundred pro-marine bikers and anti-war protesters gathered in the near 100 degree heat in Berkeley to wave flags and signs.
The crowd lined both sides of Shattuck near the Marine Recruitment Center. A small ground of Code Pink bicyclists circled several times as did a few bikers (one of whom drove close behind the bicyclists and continuously revved his engine). Around noon or one, the Berkeley police decided to push all anti-war protesers (and several journalists) out of the crowd of bikers directly in front of the recruitment center. Most police lined the opposite side of the street eating popsicles but a few of those who were pushing anti-war protesters mingled with the bikers and almost seemed to be part of the pro-marine group.
