>>1714850>be me>9 years old>BMX is all the rage>I want one>it's too dangerous anon, the neighbor's son broke his arm the other day>mom and dad buy me a shit-tier road bike with a 1x5 and downtube shifter, so I can 'safely' ride on roads with all the carsIf you truly like it, I guess it's pretty based, but if you're using the grown adult excuse to catch up on everything you missed as a kid, it's kinda lame in my book. I remember that BMX was just a hype thing, so kids got their bikes for first communion or some other event, they'd gather after school and ride their bikes, fool around and have fun. It wasn't really about BMX, more so just spending time with friends doing the same thing. You won't get that as a grown-up, the best you can hope for is find a group of old BMX nuts who still ride them trying to be Dave Mirra and you won't fit in. It's also kinda sub-optimal for commuting. But hey, if you're having fun, just riding it, I guess nobody should have a problem with that or care.
