since i'm gonig to uni and its a flat city i'm thinking about getting a bike to get from a to b fast. i've got a pretty expensive mountain bike already wihch I won't want to take cos of the chances of it getting nicked...so I was thinking about a cheap bmx that I could treat like shit and not care about that much...any of you have experience with them? alternatively I could get one of those 80's electric 3 wheeled things |

|

hm but with a bmx, you only have one gear and it's harder to cycle on steep streets, no ? it depends what how long you have to cycle per day... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
get a car or a helicopter |

bmx's are cool, they're light and you can do some tricks, and if you pump it up, you can be really fast also... |

Go with the BMX. Far more fun, racers get knacked real quick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's what I thought! |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good idea, i bike a lot. its fast. |
||||||||

Get something with gears, not the BMX. That is if you just want it purely for traveling from A to B. |
||||||||

bmx bikes aren't terribly reliable. as jedi chris said, get something with gears to make the purchase worthwhile. bikes are nice and fast. |
||||||||
|

|
there;s these crazy ass new bikes, but i can't remember what they're called. they're for urban riding.. they're like bmxs, but have front suspention and some gears. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I think everyone should ride bikes |
||||||||
|

i do.i have a 2000 trek, it took over my 1993 diamondback topanga, um i love to ride and watch whats going on and listening to ministry, fugazi and techno when i ride. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
