All of the large BMX brands have released their 2012 ranges over the past few months and this has given us the chance to take a look at soem of thebest cheap BMX bikes on the market.  Two bikes really stand out for me; the Stolen Riot and the Eastern Nitrous Cobra.  Both of these bikes are relativley cheap compared to the performance and race bikes, however, they still allow you to compete at as high a level as possible, and allow you to get involved in all areas of the sport.

As most of us know this year will be an exciting year for Bmx riders and fans alike. The Bmx olympic event takes place at the olympic park,  on 8th to 10th of august. Great Britains hope for a medal will be with Liam Philips, two times silver championship medal winner. Winner of the 2008 gold medal in beijing Maris Strombergs will be back this year to defend his title, with a lot of strong competition coming from the americans. Maris has benn one of the strongest competiers in recent years and could be the man to beat. This will only be the second time that the Bmx event has been included in the Olympic games, and it gives a great boost to the sport, which is already expanding at a great rate.  The London 2012 course is extremely exciting with a lot of tough obstacles to compete against, and it will only take the riders approximatley 40 seconds to compete.  This will lead to an enthralling event, and possibly one of the highligh of the games.

With loads of diffrent and exotic locations to chosse from all around the globe, its never been a better time to go all inclusive.  But if you,re the sporting type and lying around in the sun is,nt your cup of tea, then the summer of 2012 will be the time lots of sports fans will have been counting the days down to.  The start of the 2012 olympic games in london.  A lot of time and effort not to metion money has been put into the preperations for the games over the last four years.  With construction work going on over the whole of the uk, new arenas , stadiums, and loads of accommation to house all the competiors and there teams from all over the world.

Most of the nations of the world will be represented in the games which will make for a really brillant and exciting spectecal for everbody involed,competiors and spectators alike. So by the time this summer comes round everthing should be in place and hopefully all will run smoothly.  One of the most exciting events for all the cycling enthuaists will be the indoor cycling at the velodrome, and the road racing.  Road racing begins on august 1st and racing starts at  in south west london at hampton court palace, following along some of the most famous routes in london.  One of the hot favourites for the race will be Isle of mans Mark Cavendish, 2011 sprint winner of the tour de france.
