This looks like the late 80s (or maybe early 90s) and what looks like a freestyle BMX bike with the caption "how to be awesome" - but no mention of Haro or Diamondback? I call bullshit.

Don't BMX bikes typically not have gears?

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hell if I know. Were bikes with gears considered how to be awesome in the 80s or 90s?

No gears, brakes in the middle of the rear triangle, low, sloped back seat and taller handlebars.

Where i live they didn’t have gears, yet they had a gear shifter, just for the cool factor, I guess
