I dont see why people that dont bmx buy bmx bikes. Lets be serious, if you pretty much only use your bike to get from point A to point B then buying a bmx bike is a terrible idea. Sure you get some
excersise (sp?) but is it worth it. The only advantage to having a bmx bike is that its smaller and can allow you to do tricks. For everyday purposes a mountain bike is much more useful. You can put it on a lower gear if you want excersise but if your just cruising around you can make it as easy or as hard as you want to.

See teens riding bmx bikes all over the place. I wonder the same question. Sitting on them, knees going higher than their chests. I say to myself, "what the bleep is wrong with those idiots?"

Same around here, and all of them are 'wal-mart' bikes
(锕侊箒)~~~~----------------------------------------------------------------------
BMX bikes are cheaper than MTBs.

Not all the time. I see a lot of people rocking Fits and some good bmx bikes, but they don't ride bmx. I think they just want to be "cool".

i mean for a teenager a 100$ x-mart mtn bike is much better then a 100$ bmx for just getting around

They usually try to do tricks, like manualing off a curb or something, but most of them give up and just ditch the bike and get a car when they're 16.
