BMX, a sort of bike-racing for kids, is the latest craze on the streets of Britain. Bike shops are full of gleaming machines, and every suburban street corner has its group of youngsters kitted out in the latest fashions in padded suits and helmets. For the cycle and safety-clothing industries it has meant a boom, for ambulance and safety services a worry, and for the kids themselves exciting and dangerous fun and exercise. As a sport BMX is now worldwide and St John Howell went to the European
Championships in Birmingham to find out what it is all about. Among the people he talked to were top British riders
Tim March and Andy Ruffell , and American champions
Eric Rupe , Clint Miller and Mike Lander.
