Yeah, I want to start riding. I want to buy a bmx, so how big should the wheels and frames be. I'm new to this kind of stuff so yeah.
I'm like around 4'11 and around 100 pounds.
also i heard something about class and cruiser?? I don't know anything about that so please explain.
Oh and my sister wants to start riding, how big of a bike will she need?
SHe is I think 3'9.
And one last thing, since we are new to this, we would like to know anything else we need to know. Thanks
 
I'm not sure what you mean by class and cruiser but I'll give it a shot. There are different kinds of riding in BMX, such as, street,park,and dirt so not all BMX's are exactly the same as the frame geometry is built slightly different for each style.
Cruiser bikes are pretty much cruisers. In this case, I would assume your talking about 24" BMX's. These are pretty much identical to BMX's except their on 24" wheels, not 20". These are meant for the tall riders that can't fit onto 20".

Well for you, I would suggest the standard 20" wheels and a 20" - 20.25" frame size.

For your sister, I would try a 18" wheel and try the frame sizes there since I'm not sure if 20 and 18 frame sizes are the same.

I will assume your price range is going to below $400 so I'll point out a few bikes around there. I would especially take a look Kink and WeThePeople bikes because they make a variety of bikes ranging from $250 all the way to $1000.

Good Luck
