A Berkeley High School Mountain Bike Team member was bikejacked while riding near Tilden Park Golf Course on Wednesday morning.

Word of the bikejacking spread through the Berkeley cycling community in the hours that followed. Several people alerted The Scanner to what happened and asked us to find out more.

Here's what we learned.

At this point, it's unclear whether folks from outside the neighborhood will be allowed to attend. It sounds like there may be space and parking constraints.

Also, Berkeley had an earthquake early this morning that most people did not seem to feel. Still: It's not a bad idea to check your kits and disaster plans.
