I'm particularly interested in kids in CA and other Western states, and
"everyday" kinds of bikes that boys would be riding to school, etc.
Thanks!

well id say road bicycles are popular in california, or well atleast comparing to the united states. however they are so dang expensive to were you really can't leave them anywere, not even with a bike lock.

Now mountain bike I would say be best... ya got a bunch of trails and mountains that us people on the east coast would sacrafice a person in order to have those mountains/trails... and in general mountain bikes are usually able to take beatings and they're all not super expensive like road bicycles. And if he is going to be on pavement/sidewalk ya can always go into a bike shop and ask for "slick" tires, which doesn't have the mud tire grips on the tires. this will help the bike roll faster on sidewalk/road conditions. there are even some hybrid version tires out there ya can buy.

then a mountain bike is also able to do a variety of tricks as well so ya can even treat it like a bmx bike too in some ways :-p

What can i do about these neighborhood kids that cause trouble?

Worlds Gre

there are these kids in my neighborhod who are real bad. i told them not to flash a laser in my eyes and they must have took it personally. a day later they rode their bikes and parked in front of me as i was pulling into my driveway and i told them to move. i don't want this issue to escalate into them eventually destroying property so what advice do you have to resolve this issue? i will tell them i'll talk to their parents too if they continue to misbehave at my expense. but i have a feeling that may not be enough.

Answer
just ignore them completely
if they flash a laser in your eyes, so be it
if they drive behind your car, start driving

the trick is to scare the hooligans before they go too far
if theyre frightened of you, they wont come near you

it also depends on their age
if the kids are 10-12, mommy will work
12-14, you'll have to play it cool and act like you're really chill and laid back
14-16, these kids need to get lives.
and if theyre older
call the cops if they do property damage- they wont get in trouble since they are underage
