BMX
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. There is a side mission in GTA: San Andreas, inside the stunt park in Los Santos, where once you ride the BMX, you start a side mission where you have to get all the checkpoints in limited amount of time. A similar side mission called "Mashin' Up the Mall" exists in GTA: Vice City Stories which includes a total of fifty checkpoints inside the Vice Point Mall. A set of BMX time trials also exist in Vice City Stories.
A BMX located outside Roboi's Food Mart in Commerce, Los Santos starts a Courier mission. 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.
