STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- In the latest incident in a dangerous trend on Staten Island streets, teen bikers aggravated motorists and disrupted traffic over the weekend.

A woman got an unwanted and up-close encounter with a pack of bicycle riders in Arden Heights Sunday afternoon.

The driver was traveling on a busy stretch of Arden Avenue, near Arthur Kill Road, when she said a youth on a bike rode up within inches of the hood of her car and popped a wheelie while she was stopped at a red light.

And another teen was shooting video of the incident, she said.

She fears there could have been a tragedy if the teen biker confronted the wrong driver.

"I can't believe how close he was," said the driver, who shared the photos with the Advance. "It was frightening. What if this was an older person with a heart condition? You don't know how people are going to react."

In one photo, a kid with a blue shirt and army-style shorts is seen popping a wheelie just above the car's hood while another rider in a blue shirt is seen recording the stunt in the background.

A separate photo of the teen recording shows he has a shotgun microphone mounted on top of a camera.

In another image, a passenger in a white vehicle appears to wave their arm at a couple of bikers in red shirts.

"They're punks," said the driver. "I can't deal with people saying they're kids being kids. My kid would be in so much trouble."

The driver said she did not confront the teen in front of her car because her children were in the vehicle with her.

She said even though she lives in Brooklyn, she was familiar with the trend after seeing Facebook posts and videos of the bikers.

This was just one recent incident in the dangerous bike craze in the borough.

In April, the Advance reported that street riding is exploding on Staten Island, and has been prevalent for more than a year.

Some bikers, ranging from ages 12-16, have taken the daredevil riding to a new extreme, with BMX bikes with bigger wheels, 24-26-inches, and performing tricks in traffic.

Many ride against traffic, confronting buses in the bus lane and try to touch moving vehicles as they're doing wheelies. They have been seen passing red lights on dangerous roads, including Hylan Boulevard, Amboy Road and Page Avenue, and daring motorists to hit them.

And some riders post their daredevil stunts on YouTube.

In a recent video shot on Staten Island, the footage shows a kid popping wheelies while riding along the South Beach boardwalk.

The video, which was posted by YouTube user Konrad, a Staten Island resident, has nearly 77,000 views.
