I manage to do the journey on a BMX a few times a week which is also hard to pedal sitting down, I don't really pedal sitting down at all if I'm honest.. I just do a power burst then sit and rest while I just roll for a while then repeat It is quite knackering but after a 5 min rest at the end I'm ready to get back up I'm just curious whether a trials bike is harder or easier to pedal than a BMX

Alright What's the gear like to pedal by the way? (Harder/Easier than lets say an average BMX) Thanks for the replies

Hi there. If you have read my previous thread you will know that I am basically looking to buy a trials bike soon. But the question follows I live roughly a 30 min ride from Swansea town where all the activity is and then the same distance to get home, is it a realistic idea to cycle that distance on a bike with no gears and a very awkward sitting position? This is coming from somebody who has never ridden a trials bike before. (I would most definitely need a bike with a seat to rest in between power bursts) My buses refuse bikes, and I live in the middle of nowhere so no trains dare to come near my neighbourhood. Thanks

Hello Mr Alty No idea where Rossendale is, but welcome

Hi I'm Rich (19) from Swansea and I don't have a trials bike yet, I am currently looking to buy one. I grew up in Penarth then moved to Swansea 2 years ago, I'm completely new to trials biking but I have been wanting to get into it for years. Once I find myself a cheap first bike to demolish I'll be looking for other bikers in my area!

Thanks a lot both of you

Hey guys, I use to do a lot of mountain biking and I've been interested in getting into trials biking for a very long time and decided it's time to take the first step and grab a bike. There's a few different frame sizes that I have noticed ... smaller ones are seeming to be cheaper I'm a 6ft1 male, which frame size would you advise for me? or is frame size more about personal preference of riding position and posture? On a side note I've been looking around for cheap bikes as a first bike and the onza brand seems to pop up a lot, should I go with a onza or is there another cheap but better bike out there? All help is very appreciated! Thanks
