Can I use a BMX bike in a USA Cycling race?

Q.


Answer
Not if you plan on winning you cant....youre kidding right?! No matter how good you are or think you might be you stand no chance against a road bike racing....(assuming that this race is a road bike specific race of course)

bmx bike buying?

Q. my younger brother wants a bmx bike. he is 9 and i dont want to get him a $500 bike if hes just going to mess it up. the problem is im not sure what a good brand or a good price for a bike is.


Answer
When you invest that amount of money into a bike, you definately wouldnt want to see it get thrashed or worse yet, thrashed by one of the neighbor kids that begged to ride it.
If your looking for an everyday bike that can take the punishment that 9yr olds tend to give, I would go to walmart or target, or toys r us to buy one of those tanks that really do stand up to brutal abuse and have a life expectancy of around 2-3yrs.
If your bro races bmx then by all means, it will be money well invested. You can get a top-of-the line bike with all the bells and whistles for that price. Your local bike shop can set you up or check out craigslist.org. Theres always a few listings with pictures. Redline, Gt, Alliant, Cheeta/robinson, powerlite, are good brands. And the cost can range from $125 on up.
Check craigslist.org. Thats where the best bikes are for next to nothing. Good luck!
