I got a wethepeople bmx for fairly cheap. Nice ride, but not too light. Too bad, I have to leave it outside... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I enjoy riding a BMX bike for commuting, over a mountain bike. I'd rather ride 24" than a confusing geared bike. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Ever ride a 24" wheeled bike through a mountain bike trail? It doesnt work very well since the wheels dont roll over anything very well. Thats why they came out with 29" wheels vs the standard 26". I have rode my bmx to plenty of places to and its fine but I have gotten on a hybrid to and it was much better.

My key word would be 'commuting'. I would be much more comfortable riding a mountain bike on a trail over a 24" cruiser. I may look at a properly sized mountain bike as my next bike.
