BMX Bike

Post Reply New Topic

I'm contemplating getting this one
It's a full sized bmxbike suitable for adults
It's only cheap at 229.99

Do you like it



Only except I'm getting it in orange because that's my favourite colour

It's gone back up to 350 now so I'm not bothering

Sorry to hear that. I have a three speed Schwinn tricycle.

Do you get out on it often

If you get a BMX, will you be using it for tricks?

In my experience they suck for trying to get around on, because they're small, not great for sitting on and only have a single gear that's usually intended more for accelerating than going fast.

yeah mate, it's for the park.

Awesome. I want to see your BMX video.

I mean, those are still a thing, right?

This is one my brother had:

Yep, the first bike I ever got that wasn't a handmedown was a single speed Huffy BMX bike with coaster brakes. And, it was fine on flats, but the moment you had any sort of significant hill, I had to get off and walk it up the hill. And, I live in a city with a lot of hills. And even on flats it could be hard to keep up with people that had more than one speed.

I'd personally recommend people go with a bike that has at least a few speeds. How many really depends on their locality, not everybody needs 30 speeds.

BMX is perfectly fine for that, have you considered just getting a used bike? If there's a used bike shop near you, you could get one that would easily handle that for a lot less. Plus, if you decide that you don't like it, you could probably sell lit back and get a decent chunk of the money back.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking of doing

theres a good shop near me

It has been in storage in my basement for years but I could use it to get to the grocery store if my car broke down.

Getting a used bike through a local shop sounds like a great idea!
They can make sure it is the right size for you.

If I save up for then I can get the one that I like

Because I cancelled my membership at the skatepark so that'll save me a bit so I can use that to put towards it

And then I can use the free skatepark because there's 2 near me

The BMX World Championship in Denmark is only 1,5 month away.

It's the racing kind. I'm going there to cheer on a friend who's competing.

Well I'll have to wait even longer now because I've just been diagnosed with a broken rib

Fab

Have a great time peet

Sorry to hear that. Hope you heal up quickly.

Thank you
So do I or I'll be getting fat
