Bikers Shut Down Los Angeles Freeway For Epic, Illegal Marriage Proposal
Three hundred bikers stopped traffic on the 10 Freeway so one of the riders could propose to his longtime girlfriend.
1. Watch the plan unfold:
2. Hector “Tank” Martinez set a new standard for marriage proposals on Sunday when he popped the question to his girlfriend Paige on one of the busiest highways in Los Angeles during a “Unity Ride,” an event where solo and club bikers ride together.
The newly-engaged Paige Hernandez and Hector Martinez.
3. Martinez began planning the proposal in October, clearing his ideas with the Unity Ride organizer and purchasing a special tire that released pink smoke for the big moment.
4. “When Paige and I talked about my proposal, she mentioned that she wanted it to be in the bike scene, but she also wanted her family to be there,” Martinez told BuzzFeed via email.
5. “By proposing on the freeway and having all of our family members on the overpass watching, I was able to give her the best of both worlds.”
6. A close-up video of the proposal:

Elinore Rigby 3 months agoAwwww that’s so sweet. He really took a long time to plan it and do it right. Those accident victims in the two ambulances who died because they couldn’t get to the hospital in time because of the traffic jam probably would have understood had they lived. He got a special PINK TIRE for goodness sake.

If that’s 300 bikes I’m guessing the bride will be disappointed with Tank’s other lie.

The freeway is a community resource not a fuckin bike circus. I’d be pissed as fuck if some bikers made me late to work or worse for something like this. Take it off our highwa—the residents and freeway goers of Los Angeles don’t need to be “forced” to spectate someone proposing against their will especially with how traffic is here anyways. I hope the CHP gave every one of these people a fat ticket but know its not possible.
