Police have responded to multiple recent reports of robberies targeting bikers in popular parks.

FILE - Police in Oakland have responded to several armed robberies targeting mountain bikers in the hills.Oakland resident Louisa Spier was riding her mountain bike in the Oakland Hills when she was robbed at gunpoint last month. Spier said three thieves approached her on a trail that runs along Skyline Boulevard and demanded that she turn over her bike; one of them pointed a gun in her face.

Spier said she was riding alone, which she does regularly, on a Tuesday afternoon, following the median trail home after a ride at Anthony Chabot Regional Park. The trail is popular with both pedestrians and cyclists, and Spier passed a father carrying an infant right before she was approached by the three individuals.

The Oakland Police Department confirmed the robbery occurred at noon March 29 on the 13100 block of Skyline Boulevard, and the incident is under investigation. The department said it recently responded to two other armed robberies where an individual’s mountain bike was stolen. The East Bay Regional Parks Police Department, which patrols the region’s 73 regional parks, has also responded to a robbery.
