I just want to ride it.
I saw one at, get this, at KMart. lol.
It's a "boys" bike but it looks massive and I'm fairly certain I could ride it.
But, I don't want to fork out the money if it's not built to suit.

are you looking to travel far of just pootle about and have fun?
I'd advise against Walmart, it will be cheap but really shit and not much fun. for the same money you should be able to get something ridable second hand or better quality.

what's your budget?
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 21 Jul 2011, 20:08, Reply)

Just POOTLE ABOUT
I like that phrase. Pootle about. Ride around the neighborhood or town. Maybe start a gang.

I don't know, I would like to not spend more than $150.

Start a gang? What will be your colours?
( girlinthehole, Thu 21 Jul 2011, 20:12, Reply)

Black and pink.
Probably.
I'm totally going to hold...what's it called to get people in....not auditions...fuck I'm the worst gang leader ever.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 21 Jul 2011, 20:22, Reply)

i'd have thought you could get something for that
£100 would get you a useable second hand hybrid or MTB over here. I'd say just get an old but well cared for mountian bike to be honest, they are cheap as hell these days, go forever and if speed is not a priority it's be fine.
something like this:
www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/rare-giant-mtb-atb-mountainbike-coldrock-80s-vintage/83973869
would be all you'd need, I know it's a UK listing, so it might be different around your way, but worth checking craigslist for your area.

Best of luck. depends what you think is cool I guess you could get an old racer maybe but they are not the best to learn on. Maybe the department store bike is for you, but the built quality will be poor verging on dangerous.

oh, CYCLING, sorry
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 21 Jul 2011, 20:32, Reply)

Are we talking about the think you linked?
If so, you are probably OK, it looks too simple to have much go wrong and if the brakes fail you can stop with your feet. It's a toy more than a bike, but you want to play more than travel, so don't let that put you off.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 21 Jul 2011, 20:36, Reply)

I'm not travelling in it.
This isn't srs bznss biking. It's faffing about the neighborhood, maybe training my dog to run along side it.
Ride around town and beat up kids. That sort of thing.

Can't go far wrong then
if the BMX floats you boat then get it, it's about enjoyment at the end of the day. Might be worth trying something that size first if you can borrow a friends, just so you know if you'll be comfortable.
