Default is there such a thing as a hooligan cyclist?

i am not talking about being a menace on the road

but i sometimes ride with some guys with local bike club and they seem not to approve of having a little fun...

they have looks of dissaproval when i pull a wheelie or bunnyhop or ride down a gutter...

i am not doing anything dangerous... just having a little fun...

can some explain the mentality?

whoosers can't jump, or mono.

Nah, sounds like you're talking road bikes. Roadies have alot of 'don't do' stuff that's not written down.
Be yourself, be responcible & you'll be riding with a smile on your dial for years to come.

i just like feeling young again .... that is the whole idea of riding right

don't you all get that youthful feeling when you hop on your bike

all my friends who return to cycling share the same feeling
