People with bicycles and a car

Question

Ok, im gonna get my driving permit very soon and i wanted to get a bmx bike. My question is how many people still ride bikes if they can drive. I dont want to waste money on a bike that ill never ride.

Answer 1

I drive to the beach to ride my bike  

Answer 2

I rarely ride my bike anymore, mainly because I can't get the front derailleur set right.

Sometimes when I go to the store to give my girlfriend who is a cashier dinner money I go on my brothers bike.

I don't know why you'd want a BMX though...the only way to ride them is on ramps and stuff because you get no where near the speed or acceleration of a bike with multiple gears. A 10 speed is about as few of gears as can get you past 20mph and I find it hard to get past 30-35 on the average 18-21 speed bike.  

Answer 3

get your permit and learn to drive. once the novelty of driving wears off you can still get that bike.
