Nothing to fear from bikie run, police say

Queensland police say there's nothing to fear from a bikie run by the Patriots because they're a social club, not a criminal motorcycle gang.

Queensland police have assured the public there's nothing to fear from a bikie run because it only involves the good guys.

Police have taken the unusual step of issuing a public statement about Tuesday's run organised by the Patriots Motorcycle Club.

"The public should not be concerned about these activities as the Patriots is not a criminal motorcycle gang," police said in a statement.

They said it was a social club, and the run would involve members travelling from Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba to Coffs Harbour in NSW.
