Using spikes strips on bikes is the craziest thing I've heard lol, not only is it easy to evade by bike but the amount of injuries it will cause if he it's it is large.

According to the Youtube description, some of the riders were arrested.
I feel like what the police were really trying to accomplish here, was to get some lights and sirens near the head of the pack (which they did). That way the riders are encouraged to disperse (which they did), and other vehicles on the road are given advanced warning to slow down or stop (which they did), so they don't slam into or get slammed by one of the motorcycles. All in all, I think the police had an intelligent, effective strategy that worked well in this situation. 
Lets pray some of these riders are thinking to themselves, 'That was incredibly scary, dangerous, and stupid. I'll never do anything like that again!'.
"[...]Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain." - Psalm 127:1
