EQUIPMENT
You can ride any 20 inch or 24 inch (cruiser) BMX bike. Just remove any mudguards, chain guards, kick-stand, pegs and reflectors, for the safety of yourself and other riders. Ensure that there are no sharp edges on your handlebars (i.e. no torn grips with exposed metal) or pedals, etc. You need a rear hand brake that works. An official will be available to check your bike for you and help with any minor adjustments.
