Huffy Rock it
So my 10 year old boy is hooked on devices and has totally abandoned any outdoor activity for the summer.... not if I can help it. I want to get him a BMX style bike but not spend an arm and a leg doing it. Actually, I only want to spend no more than $60 for a bike for him. When he re-develops an interest then I will get him a better bike.
I went to Wal Mart and Academy and didn't like any of their offerings. However, this Huffy Rock it popped up and it was a simple coaster brake 20" BMX style bike that wasn't too aggressive and built rather well. The wheels were surprisingly true and had a decent size crank so he can get a little top end speed. It was only $54 but I felt better about it because the were no cheap components to fail and was sturdy enough to satisfy his basic riding needs. He has expressed interest in riding again but doesn't know what he really wants. NO....I don't want to spend more than $60....I have my reasons, but as far as cheap bikes go.... this one was built well and is a more recognized brand than your copycat bike makers that dress up these BMX bikes with cheap components and gimmick items.
What do you all think of my choice?
