Let the Bikes In

“We are not asking for special treatment, we are just asking for equal treatment” -Accessbmx Everyday more and more so-called “public” skate parks are popping up all over the country. The one thing is bicycles are not allowed. This is not fair to the bicycle riders, who ride the same things as the in liners and the skateboarders, which are allowed into the skate parks. I believe bicycles should be allowed in public skate parks. …

…are we as a society to have say in which sports are right and wrong? By not allowing bicycles into public skate parks this is the message being sent out. Bicycles are a bas sport and should not be allowed. Active children should be appreciated for the athletes they are and given every opportunity to excel at their chosen sport. Therefore letting BMX bicycles into public skate parks will give them that chance to excel.
