So yeah, I agree, there is a time and a place for riding behaviour like that. I am just making it clear, that I am not "that guy".
Yep, that's exactly what I was referring to. Just dangerous riding on crowded MUPs (here in NYC) with dog walkers, slower bikers, razor scooters, joggers, walkers, runners, kids, rollerbladers, strollers, etc. I've had some people do some crazy things that have almost gotten me killed or seriously injured. It's scary.
