The BMX, as depicted in GTA Vice City Stories.

The BMX is the most commonly found bike in the State of San Andreas and the only bicycle in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It's main advantages are that it has good handling for a bike, and it can do super high bunny-hops (with shorter hops in Vice City Stories), along with wheelies and stoppies. Its disadvantages are its poor speed (when compared to the Mountain Bike). The bike is also not meant for off-roading use, and the player can endure injuries when using this bike for that purpose. The BMX is not recommended for getaways when pursued by cops. All in all, it is a well suited bike and a very fun means of transportation. The BMX is the first available vehicle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and is used on the first couple of missions by Carl Johnson and his Grove Street friends.

The BMX can be found used by pedestrians in GTA San Andreas, but in GTA Vice City Stories, it only has spawn points and never used by anybody in the game bar the main character.

Trivia

• The GTA San Andreas rendition features a ringing bell in place of a horn, but the GTA Vice City Stories lacks any of these equipment.
• Like the trains (Brown Streak and Freight), this vehicle is indestructible too.
• The BMX, like any other bicycle in GTA San Andreas, can combust into flames if the player manages to get it stay upside down. This is probably a designer oversight, because the task of getting a cycle upside down is next to impossible.
