Cyclists hit the streets of Miami-Dade Monday afternoon to participate in the MLK Rideout, an annual event where hundreds of riders participate.
Dozens of cyclists were seen making their way through northwest Miami-Dade before stopping at a 7-Eleven at Northwest 79th Street and Northwest 7th Avenue.
Multiple Florida Highway Patrol troopers were seen blocking off a nearby entrance ramp to Interstate 95.
The cyclists left the gas station and some were seen riding through intersections and against traffic.

The group eventually made their way to Coral Gables and Little Havana, where they stopped at a Shell gas station on 8th Street near Douglas Road.
A clerk at the Shell took video of dozens of people entering the store then ransacking it, with some leaving without paying.
The clerk told NBC6 in Spanish that she was scared when she saw so many people and tried hitting the panic button that locks the door but people were holding it open. That's when she went to the door to try to close it, but said she was pushed against the door.

"They knocked things down, treats, beer, ice cream, Gatorade, they took everything," she said.
Police arrived a short time later and got things under control. Officials haven't said if there were any arrests made.
The event, also known as "Wheels Up, Guns Down," began to promote peace and an alternative to gun violence.
But in years past, the street takeovers have sometimes gotten out of hand as bikers perform dangerous stunts on streets and take over sections of highways.
Many have also taken part in their own rideout featuring ATVs and dirt bikes.
Over the holiday weekend, Miami-Dade Police arrested nearly 150 people accused of illegally riding dirt bikes and ATVs.
