Way up here on the north side and into Evanston I have seen more and more street daredevils riding BMX bikes, wrong side or middle of street, no helmets of course. They run stop signs and lights, taking the middle of the street even with oncoming traffic. Usually it's groups of 3-6 riders together. Pretty stupid stuff. I haven't gotten any trouble from them when I'm biking.

I don't think they are thinking. They are just trying to seem cool to their friends. I haven't seen kids doing it alone.
