From disrupting traffic to putting pedestrians physically at risk, there needs to be a change. Amen understands that ATV and dirtbike riding is a part of the Philadelphia culture for certain communities. However, reckless driving throughout the city and putting others, as well as the riders themselves, in harm’s way is not the answer and should be addressed.
