3 BMX Kids’ Bikes for Beginners
BMX bikes come in three main styles - racing, freestyle and dirt jumping. However, the differences between the bikes needed for each discipline are actually very slim. If your child has been asking for a BMX bike, chances are they’re going to ride it and practice tricks at the skate park instead of riding around town.
Here are three for the beginner BMX kid!

You may have noticed that I didn’t choose any BMX bikes being specifically marketed to girls. All of the girls bikes that I found said things like “She will show off her girly style on this purple bike!” and I thought that was so wrong, I didn’t choose any of them! Buy your girl a red bike and watch her compete with the boys! Not every girl wants to be “girly!”
