tommy gun


Ok, im starting freestyle bmx and i have....uh...eh hem a NEXT turbo And i don't want another no brand bike form the junk yard, so from a budget of around $300 What bike should i get? i herd that like best bike ( say people in my neighborhood ) is either a redline or a haro and if u live in the east taunton or taunton area please tell me the adress f there's good bikes there . bottom line : it needs to be light, strong and can handle hard core biking which kinda goes with strong.. um..... oh yea What r some starter AIR tricks i can do with ten eighty ramps?


Answer
first off, if u want light, u don't want Haro. I worked at a bike shop for two years and we sold Haro. Everyone (middle school kids) thinks Haro is the best but they are so heavy that i would never be able to get one off the ground.

redline does make some decent bikes, but their nice bikes are for dirt not vert.

dans comp has a good selection of frames and completes. look at Eastern and Hoffman, i have heard good things and they are in ur price range

PLZ help Were can i find a bike helmet with a FLASHING light on it?

here's the story
i'm 17 i joined a volunteer fire district, we have a 16 year old kid who was riding his bike to a call the district. He got hit by a car on the way to the fire house. He was out of action for a little bit but is fine and he likes to try and shed light on what happened. Now all of the guy bust him every chance we get. His birthday is coming up.

we want to find a bike helmet with a LARGE blue or red flashing light
i found a carton picture of what would be ideal http://www.be-safe.org/books/books_bicycle/media_books/971523.gif
If you find anything for sale like this please give me the link
Something bulky or if you could make one i will buy it
im not looking for anything super expensive
and it doesnt need to last i doubt it will get used it just needs to light up
If anyone has one that is used ill buy it only needs to work for a short time



Answer
I'm not aware of any bike lights that are red or blue. All headlights I've seen are white and all taillights I've see are red. In most states that's what's required under the traffic law.

Many bike headlights are helmet mounted, though, and some have a flashing mode for use in the twilight hours for extra visibility. A steady white headlight and red taillight are required after sunset, though.

There is one light I've seen that is available for police bikes, but I don't know if any special paperwork is required to purchase one. Here's a link:

(Edit) Actually, I just looked over the specs for the Nite Rider light and it is available with red and/or blue lenses that flip down over the white light. Maybe something like this would work for you. Warning: They are a bit on the expensive side, but they are great lights. I've had a system for about 5 years and it works great.
