Several outlets report that cyclists trespass onto a section of roadway that is temporarily closed during roadworks, and then conduct stunts as part of an anti-car protest. According to the accounts, the group uses the closure of the Westway to enter the former motorway area. Reports describe cyclists riding e-bikes they characterize as illegal and pulling wheelies while on the roadway. Some accounts also state that the protesters climb onto nearby structures, including gantries, after entering the restricted area. The incident is described as occurring during a period of roadworks, when access to the road is limited. While the outlets focus on the group’s behavior—such as trespassing, performing wheelies, and climbing infrastructure—they also frame the actions within the context of a protest against cars. The reports do not indicate, in the provided text, what enforcement actions follow, nor do they confirm details about arrests, injuries, or specific police or transport authority responses.
