"If you ride BMX is quit likely you hear somebody comment on your bike being a little bit too small. It's a very common perception, this for example while it may look drastically too small actually fits me quit perfectly at the same time, not all BMX bikes are created the same. You have a variety of different of setup options that will affect the way that your bike feels. Be at top 2 and back and length size of your handle bars and a number of other considerations here. So basically you want to make sure when you're buying a BMX bike that you usually feel a little bit small but you make sure that hands are not coming in too close that if you to your pelvic area, you want to make sure that your pedaling and not hitting your knees off of your handle bars. And at the same time you also want to make sure that you not extend out too far because if you are, then you're going to loose the maneuverability of the bike which is going to make less fun to ride as well as less safe. So basically what you're looking for in a bike is something where you're going to feel comfortable and where you feel you have maneuverability without ever being cramped."
