Hey,
I just got my first BMX bike yesterday. Its a blue Mongoose Brawler....Now the person who sold me this is a 4 year BMX racing champion. He said this was more of a universal bike. Which means it can go on many things...other then dirt. I do say its maybe a little to heavy....which may be good because he told me if I get a heavy bike....then I can do anything on a light bike....Now I'm looking for both street and dirt....so I was wondering if this is a good enough bike to bring the the skatepark sometime....I'm trying to learn flatland tricks...such as the bunny hop....very hard...all I can do is basically lift up my front tire....
Anyways I was just asking if this is truely a good bike/universal for stuff like that.
Please be honest I can take anything...
Answer
well the kid was right, the bike you got is a universal bike...you can use it for trials, skatepark, street, but for flatland...the geometry is completely different on the frame...alot shorter and whatnot. i woudl say that you have a good starter bike. the first year that you ride you are building muscle and getting used to your bike. when i started i wasnt able to bunnyhop for awhile, now i can hop over garbage cans, jersey barriers, and fences! its all in your arms and legs. you pull up as hard as you can and then you level your arms out as you are sucking your legs up...try it for a good day or 2 and it will come to you. even taking you pegs off, cutting of an inch on your handle bars, cutting down your seat post are some ways you can lighten up yoor bike as well if you think its too heavy. i have actually bought parts that weigh lighter for myb ike and it weighs 21lbs...which is rather light. stick with it man...BMX is a long hard road to go down if you want to get good, but you have to stick with it....and once you start landing tricks it is one of the most rewarding feelings you can get...well to me at least. keep shreddin!

Is it safe to let my kid bike around San Ramon?
S[e]a[n]
I am planning to move to San Ramon, CA near Iron Horse Middle School, and my kid (12 years old) is BEGGING me to buy him a new bicycle (the old one is all rusty). But I'm wondering, is it safe to let him bike to school, library, and so on?
â» Are there lots of cars there?
â» Is there lots of steep downhills?
â» Irrelevant, but is there some decent bicycle shops that sell bikes for kids in San Ramon/Pleasanton?
Thanks!
Answer
That part of San Ramon is flat and very residential. You'll have the normal amount of cars for a large residential area. No bike stores I can think of, but there's always a Target nearby.
