BMX stands for Bicycle Motocross. This is reflective of the emergence of BMX in the late 60s / early 70s on the west coast of America, which was inspired by the shape and style of off road motorbikes.
BMX bikes are good for a range of different reasons, and in our view, all are for very positive purposes. Above all, riding a BMX bicycle is a way to enjoy yourself and the world around you, quite often with a group of friends, family or by yourself. Additionally, BMX bikes are a great, eco-friendly substitute for a private vehicle, a way to engage in exercise and improve your health. Lastly, BMX bikes can act as a medium to pursue a passion or a hobby which can grow into something much more fulfilling. Oh, and BMX bikes are a killer way to satisfy your deep need for speed!
BMX bikes are designed for a specific purpose, to explore your surroundings be it a race track, an off-road trail, a set of dirt jumps, a skatepark or the street more generally. For most of these purposes, tricks are involved, as well as short & sharp bursts of speed. As such, BMX bikes differ from regular bikes through having a single gear, a low frame, generally 20 inch wheels and no suspension. BMX bikes are often lighter and less expensive than regular bikes - however this may vary depending on your situation.
BMX bikes can be ridden on the road, as long as you are following the relevant road rules and practicing safety with other road users. LUXBMX also recommends ensuring your bike is complete with accessories and parts to make sure your journey is as safe as possible, including lights, reflectors, a helmet on your noggin’ as well as functioning brakes. It may also pay to understand the type of tyres you run as this will have a differing impact depending on your style.
BMX bikes are self-powered in that the more energy you put into pedalling, the more speed you will generate. This means that you are in control of how fast you and your BMX bike can go! Different styles of bikes will have different speeds, with other variances depending on where you are riding your BMX bike i.e. a race track will often bring about faster speeds than a skate plaza. It may also pay to maintain your BMX bike in a good condition as this will help keep the speeds to a maximum, for example, lube in your drive chain, aligning your wheels and adjusting your brakes so there is no friction.
BMX bikes are self-powered and built to withstand tough conditions. As such, the length of your distance is ultimately up to you. However, BMX bikes are tailored to be ridden on off-road surfaces, to execute stunts and reach high speeds on race tracks. Generally these platforms don’t involve long distances like a road, mountain or commuter bike. There are ways to adjust your BMX bike to better suit long distance riding, such as lengthening your setup, increasing your seat height and applying a suitable gear ratio for the journey.
There is a BMX bicycle for everyone, including the beginners. You may be learning to ride a bike for the first time, as a young fella or in your senior years. No matter the situation, LUXBMX can meet your needs irrespective of skill level, budget or style of bike. The sooner you get on a BMX cycle, the quicker you will learn.
There is a huge range of different styles and sizes of BMX bikes, so it’s important to make the right choice for you to make sure you get the most out of your BMX experience. LUXBMX.com offers a really handy BMX buyers guide to help you on your journey, based around your skill level, your height and weight and finally, your budget.
