Since there seems to be quite a few people on here who think that all N.S. bikes are black, I took a couple of photos at the skatepark last night. These are only 2 of the many bikes that were multi coloured. Its just that these were the only 2 kids who I felt OK about asking to take a photo.
Everyone else looked too tuff!

Feel free to add to this thread to help people see that modern bikes can look just as colourfull (silly?) as 80s bikes.

I meant a toy:

toy:

1.    an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything.
2.    a thing or matter of little or no value or importance; a trifle.
3.    something that serves for or as if for diversion, rather than for serious practical use.
4.    a small article of little value but prized as a souvenir or for some other special reason; trinket; knickknack; bauble.
5.    something diminutive, esp. in comparison with like objects.
6.    an animal of a breed or variety noted for smallness of size: The winning terrier at the dog show was a toy.
7.    a close-fitting cap of linen or wool, with flaps coming down to the shoulders, formerly worn by women in Scotland.
8.    a simple, light piece of music, esp. of 16th or 17th century England, written for the virginal.

My bike is for me to go & ride, on ramps, with my mates as a form of exercise, expression & enjoyment. I don't consider it a 'toy'

BMX definition:

a piece of sporting equipment typically with 20" wheels

a method of transport not recommended for long distances

an ornament to be polished and stored and never ridden, see also "Old School BMX"
