On some of the roads I travel there is no bike lane and it has a canopy of old oak trees that like to drop big branches. I swerve and ride around when there are no cars, and hop when there are cars.
I am 155lbs and bunny hop on 24 spoke Front and 28 spoke Rear wheels all the time with no ill effects. I say go for it. I bunny hop speed bumps at full speed so I don't have to slow down like cars do.... and this I do on a daily basis.
