new bike!

[kayarcee]

I want a bike mostly just to ride around and for a little excercise but I also mite want do a little light bmx type of riding too once in a while. I am a skateboarder so I don't know anything about bikes so I don't know what kind of bike to get. I really want a bmx bike but I also want to be comfortable riding around sitting down sometimes too when I am going for a ride. I am 5'3' and normal weight range for that height. Is there such thing as a blank bike setup? Like a blank board for skateboards? I was gonna buy a diamond back but I don't really want like a basic bike, i would rather have a better one just in case i decide to get into more tricks but I know im not gonna get too serious with it and it will still be used for riding too. I also dont know what size bike is best for me and my size either. any suggestions?

kayarecee there is a huge variety of bicycles, and the ones used for bmx/tricks are highly specialized ones that are not usually used for general purpose riding. If you want to have a bmx and/or tricks bike, and you also want to do general recreation riding, you will probably need at least two bikes.
