As GoLocal reported, a massive ATV and dirt bike ride is planned for Tuesday night in Providence — as a protest expecting hundreds of people is scheduled for 6 PM on Elmwood Avenue. 

Dubbed “Hallowheelie Season V”, the bike event planned mirrors that of what took place on Sunday, when 300 vehicles ran rampant through Providence.

A rider, Jhamal Gonsalves, was seriously injured in an accident involving police which is currently under investigation.
