FOOTAGE has emerged online showing dozens of youths performing stunts on a stretch of the Collector Road.
The video shows the group of riders weaving across lanes and throwing wheelies on the busy dual carriageway.
Many of the procession are not wearing helmets or are seen riding one-handed.
The clip is understood to have been taken last Sunday (July 31), when there were reports of a large group of cyclists causing traffic problems on the route.
The scenes were broadly condemned by drivers on Facebook.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police confirmed officers had been called at around 5pm following reports of "almost 100 riders" blocking the road.
Police said a motorcyclist, who was riding among the push bikes, was arrested after breaking off from the main group and speeding away.
The 27-year-old was subsequently charged with driving dangerously, handling stolen goods and taking a motor vehicle without consent.
