80% of teenage boys ride BMX bikes, and the question most parents ask is why? It is a bit of a quandary for parents as, on the face of it, BMX bikes don’t seem to be very practical, but the fact of it is that they are designed to be practical and to cope with every day life... (in teenage terms).

“boys will be boys”
For a teenage boy, and for some teenage girls, every day life on your BMX bike usually consists of jumping as many gutters on the way to school as possible and skidding around every corner, there are dirt jumps to go over, skateboard parks to ride… you get the idea right. BMX bikes are built to cope with this type of riding. BMX bikes are strong, light and they don’t have gears which makes them easier to maintain and harder to break than your typical mountain bike.

There are four different styles of BMX bike, Racing, Flatland, Freestyle and Dirt Jump and they come in a range of sizes to suit people of all heights.

If you are thinking of purchasing a BMX bike, the main things to be clear on before you front up to the store is, how will the bike be used and treated, how long does it need to last and roughly how much do you want to spend. If you are buying it for someone else, find out what what style of BMX bike they prefer and the features they need and want... after all you don't want to buy the wrong thing. If you know these four things you are well on your way and from here, our staff will be able to help you work through your options and make choosing the right BMX bike an easy decision.
