Bikes will never not be cool. (Unless it’s a recumbent bike because those aren’t cool.) It doesn’t matter if you use yours for transportation or just to exercise, it’s cool. Picking between fixies, hybrids and BMX bikes is like trying to figure out which kid you love the most because they’re all cool in their own right. Rad Rides: The Best BMX Bikes of all Time is a tome specifically dedicated to the design of the BMX bike throughout the years. It covers everything from Schwinn’s Sting Ray to Woody Itson’s Gold Hutch Trick Star and Jim Bauer’s Metal Rebel Contender from the perspective that aesthetics are as important as mechanics. It’s as close to coffee table bike porn as you can get without naked ladies.
