Bikers' Halloween gathering blocks busy road in Leeds

Dozens of bikers caused chaos in Leeds yesterday evening, with a Halloween ride-out bringing a major route into the city to a standstill.

The 50-strong group, consisting of mostly off-road bikes and quads, converged on Kirkstall Road, forcing police to close it for an hour and a half until they had left. Drivers on other roads and in the city centre also reported similar problems with bikers.
