Santa Rosa officers who stopped a bicyclist for a traffic violation found the rider armed with two pistols, a knife, metal knuckles and a metal knuckle/knife combination, police said Saturday.

The rider, a 40-year-old Santa Rosa man, also had 14.25 grams of suspected methamphetamine, a scale and packaging consistent with narcotics sales, police said in a Facebook post.

The man was arrested about 10:15 p.m. Friday in the 2000 block of Cleveland Avenue, police said.

One of the concealed guns was a loaded 9mm Poly-80 ghost gun — a firearm without serial numbers — with six rounds in the magazine, police said. The other was an unregistered and unloaded .22-caliber revolver.

The cyclist was accused of being a felon prohibited from firearm possession, possession of a loaded, unregistered firearm, carrying a concealed firearm and drug offenses.
