Bmx ftw
Most of my life I have been on a 20" BMX. I have owned so many that I don't want to type them all out here, even though I remember them all. I was really into BMX dirt jumping for many years before, during, and after serving in the USMC. I would ride my BMX bike everywhere. There was a time that I got into mountain biking pretty serious after the USMC, but I never rode my mountain bike around the city or for commuting. I still used my BMX to ride around town and get from place to place. Then I got into road biking and would sport my spandex suit and go on the longest most challenging rides to nowhere just to say I rode that many miles. Finally I got into fixed gear and would ride all over town on that bad boy, I had a ton of fun doing it and thought that was the type of bike I would always ride. Needless to say I have a garage full of bikes and the one I grab every single day for commuting around my urban city is my BMX. In all honesty, if you are in a busy city and need to zip in and out of cars, hopping over curbs and medians, bunny hopping over potholes and other things, taking shortcuts down alleyways etc. BMX is the bike for me. Ive always been very much into fitness and hit the weights at least three times a week, and riding my BMX around town everyday is my cardio. It is a GREAT workout and so much FUN at the same time. Getting on my BMX bike sparks all those feelings of fun and excitement I had as a little kid and to me that's what it's all about.
