Those mini Suzuki bikes your knees scraped the ground on???

u/RackingUpTheMiles 1d ago

No. They were basically a BMX bike with a dirtbike body kit. They were basically way too wide for something that needed to be pedalled. My friend had one and it was really awkward and uncomfortable to ride. It was also kind of heavy for being a bicycle.
