We used to take our bikes into the big woods next to the house. We would come across dog walkers and families and no one would get angry (we did stop and turn off the bike though) all they did was say hello.
We'd push it across the main road into the farmers field after burning. Once we were pushing it across and a cop car stopped, put his lights on, and motioned for us to cross then just drove off with a wave.
We'd also have an airgun each slung over our shoulders. We were probably about 11yo.
People were much more tolerant of scrotes back then and I know for a fact some of the people getting enraged did exactly the same thing as kids.
The bold bits highlight the difference between 'then' and 'now', Whilst I wouldn't want to hazard a guess as to when your story took place, I remember a time in the late 70's and early 80's when kids had more respect for people around them.

In about 1983 i had a Yamaha DT125 that I used to ride in the woods.
As a kid in that same time period our house backed onto woods, there were often lads on motorbikes doing what you did, it used to really wind my dad up for some reason. He would go out and lay big branches across the paths to hinder them, and argue with any he came across, but I think all the branches did was make for a more interesting off road ride for them by either scrambling over them or riding off the path to get around
