First time possibly-ever riding a bmx.
Got it free at the scrapyard yesterday, needs new tyres where one is skidded through.
Slightly too small frame, but weird standing all the way 5 miles. Felt great after a while. Couldn’t get new tyres today so risked it back too. Ride home from town began to feel natural.
Got 10ft from the front door, heard a firework going off and a fizz against my leg. Tube blew in the rear tyre.
7/10 still better than traffic.
