Mountain Bike Bmx
Should I get a mountain bike or bmx bike?
I will be movin into the city. Can a mountain bike ride regular like in a city type environment? I think I should get a bmx but theres also country that Id like to ride in. can you do that with a bmx? Does anyone have a site where they have a bunch ogf both?
A BMX is for doing tricks, not generally for riding around.
A mountain bike can definitely take a city type environment. You just have to pay attention to the type of tires on the bike. Mountain bikes usually have thick treads that help grip the ground, but can sometimes make the ride a little bit too bumpy for the streets. Many of the lower end mountain bikes (good quality ones, not the ones you get at Walmart) have a tough enough frame for the mountains, but use cheaper parts more suitable for city usage.
You might also want to check out hybrid bicycles that are basically mountain bikes fitted with tires that are more suitable for the streets.
Some good quality brands that make mountain bikes are:
Specialized - http://www.specialized.com/
Giant - http://www.giant-bicycle.com/global/
Trek - http://www2.trekbikes.com/
GT - http://www.gtbikes.com/
