BMX BIKE
If you don't
like to ride on streets and sidewalks, but love
to have bike races on dirt roads, do lots of
tricks, and try some stunts, then a BMX bike is
the perfect bike for you. A BMX bike looks
similar to a motorcycle, but BMX bikes are made
for racing, stunts and tricks; therefore, they
do not have as many parts and they are very
light.
Frame:
The frame on the BMX bike is like a triangle.
They have extra pieces to connect the tubes
together so the bike can take heavier hits.
Gears:
These bikes have only one fixed gear, so the
bike is even lighter.
Tires:
This type of bike has tires with very good
traction so they can turn better.
Brakes:
It also has three different kinds of brakes: a
rear wheel brake, front wheel, and coaster
brakes.
Wheels:
The classic dirt bike has tiny twenty-inch
wheels.
This makes the bike astonishingly lightweight.
Pedals:
The pedals on a BMX racing bike are made of an
alloy, a mixture of metals, so they will be very
light.
Handle
bars: It has high braced handlebars
that slant to the back
