> be me> want to feel free to travel/explore places> want a motorcycle at first> too broke for motorcycle and motorcycle license> get a minibike instead to try and get the same feeling as a motorcycle> ends up being a moneypit, attracts too much attention from cops/karens, don't use it that often> get a walmart "BMX" bike from marketplace to do grocery runs without having to pay for gas> I explore more and go further on the bike than I've ever gone on any motorized vehicle> go to donut shop at 5 am, explore city at 2 am, etc.> falls apart after like a month of riding (because walmart quality)> get a real BMX bike that won't break when you look at it the wrong way> learn basic bunny hops, go for gas station runs, mob random places> I can travel wherever and nobody cares (cops and karens too focused on surrons and speeding cars)> no gas, registration, insurance> undetectable by flock cameras (no license plate)> more practical than skateboards, more steez than road bikes, cheaper than carsI'm surprised there's not more BMX riders, this shit is dope. Guess ebikes have taken over. Post any BMX-related stories ITT or talk about how you got into BMX.

>>267098fixie riders can be cool looking but sometimes they can be entitled and obnoxious because of the lack of brakes desu. Also the bikes are way overpriced IMO for how mechanically simple they're supposed to be. Fixed gear companies are like the apple of the bike world. Fixie riders have skillz tho ngl, can't argue with the steez factor.
>>267121yea the lack of brakes is the fun part. having to plan and route out everything in your head
