Bellflower BMX action
CB has been bitten by the BMX bug! We went out last night to the Bellflower BMX track so she could try out her new cruiser and I could amuse myself taking photos.
     A few non-CB shots:     There were a few guys on 26ers out there too:

Wow...they don't make you run pads on the tt or stem?

Carla has them on her bike. The tt pad is very minimal. Nothing like the big foam TT pads we used to have when I was a kid.

I was there last night with my two kids and wife(he is in the background of the 4th picture) and introduced myself to Carla.
The wife had a ton of a fun, way more than she thought she would. Did you happen to get any pictures of the super tall guy on the gold 26"? I really wish those guys on the MTB's would stick around to race. |

Nice picture taking...though I'm a tad biased.
 We had a good time. All ages and bike sizes were there, it was nice to see! Just goes to show that anybody can be out there. It was nice meeting fellow STR member Nagaredama and wife/kids! I'm glad your wife had a good time her first time out there. |

From my understanding the ABA repealed the pad rule. Both Bellflower and Simi don't seem to care. You're supposed to wear long pants but I've always worn shorts with shin guards(when on flats) or knee pads(when clipped in) and have never been asked to change.
A lot of pros practice at Bellflower on Saturday mornings and I've never seen any of them with pads on their bikes. That includes the 2006 UCI World Champ. |

I would think shinguards would offer more protection than pants. Guess the ABA doesn't think so. |
