What bike is recommended for me or should I buy a car?

Question

I'm 15 turning 16 in August. I'm going to start driving and all but I have no clue whether I am going to get a car. My parents have two trucks. I will probably borrow them every now and then but we run a Mexican restaurant and they are always busy. So this will probably be my 3rd "big boy bike". HAHHH..but yeah I am looking for a bmx bike. I dont do tricks or anything but I like the look and I hate mountain bikes. I am looking something within the price range of 80 - 130 ish. I'm 5'2" roughly. Pretty short for my age but I am growing.

I really like the Dynos but from what I remember they dont make them anymore and they are expensive. I looked on ebay but they are all used (the cheap ones at least) and even more for shipping. 40 -60

I also like the GT's =]

Mongoose are nice too but they are a little played out.

I should also mention I live in Central New York. I moved here from Chicago Recently and I am visiting in about 3 weeks so if there are some cheap shops around let me know.

thx

Answer 1

well, if you're going to be using it to get places i recommend a road bike. a bmx is awful for that kind of thing.
