The BMX bike, or 'bicycle motocross' to give it its full name, is a sport bike generally used for racing or stunts. However, a lot of riders, especially younger ones, like to use them for traveling around town or commuting on too.
If you're considering buying such a bike you may wish to read our BMX bike guide. If you're not sure yet whether a BMX is the right bike for you, check out what type of bike do I need?
