Got a new bike! (again)

In the previous few weeks, my blogs included BMX related themes. This week, I actually bought a BMX bike and am really getting into the whole BMX riding scene. These photos were taken by me.

I bought this bike, a 20inch wheeled classic BMX bike.

      My first impressions of bmx bikes was long ago, and not very good. I thought they were rigid, uncomfortable, heavy and not fun. This opinion changed a few weeks ago when I rode some friends bikes at the skate park. I knew that I needed to buy one, because these bikes no longer felt so gross, and in fact, felt super fun to ride. I sold my mountain bike, said goodbye to the type of riding I have done for over 3 years and bought a new bike, this one above. This is a huge change for me, but I think it is a positive one. My bike is now super simple, and simplifies my life in more ways than one. I have no gears, no breaks, no suspension, nothing to repair or worry about.

 
     I now ride skateparks and street spots across town. One nice thing is many cities have skateparks of somesort, and traveling to different parks in California is pretty cool. Before I changed over to BMX, I was riding the same stuff (skateparks and street spots) so this was more of a bike change then a riding place change. I'm adjusting pretty quickly to the change, and I have to say its really a nice change. Sure I wish I could be riding rocky technical dirt trails again, but for now, my main focus is on riding bmx.

Pretty stoked on this bike, picked it up from Elite bikes in Citrus Heights. The shop was super cool and the bike selection was prime. After riding a few different models, and looking at a lot of price tags, I chose this bike. I love the color and the way the bike feels, and thankfully, bmx is quite a bit cheaper then mountain bikes! And once you buy a bike, not much on it can break, even if something does break, it won't be too pricey.

 Well, I am pumped on riding this new bike and having new experiences on it as well in the future. Here's to something new.
