Rad Rides

BMX bikes are iconic – there’s something about them that appeals to kids, adults and cyclists. Written and designed by Intercity, Gavin Lucas and Stuart Robinson, Rad Rides is an in-depth exploration of the world of BMX bikes through their riders and the culture that surrounds them. The introduction explains and contextualises the birth of BMX culture and where it is now, while the main body features bikes ranging from those that are well-worn through years of riding to beautiful, sculptural works of art – gleaming, built-but-never-ridden keepsakes.

The featured bikes are organised decade by decade and are drawn from the best BMX collections in the world. The book also features in-depth details of specifications and interviews with some of the collectors, many of whom have had their bikes exclusively shot for the book.
