1) go-to city with date, time & location of planned protest.

2) pay fee for protest permit

3) City blocks traffic @ time of protest & provides officers for protesters safety.

4) Biker enters blocked area of planned protest

5) Biker is detained

The protesters weren't blocking traffic, there was no traffic as the area is blocked off for a planned protest with permit.

You have to follow the same procedure for street concerts, rallies, parades, etc.

The biker was disrupting a planned, permitted & paid for protest. Protesters weren't randomly blocking traffic and pissing off motorists. Maybe you see the picture a little more clearly now? San Fransisco is strange, a lot of free speech history there and precise procedures to avoid being fined or arrested for protest without a permit.
