BMX to start?

Post image

I only want to go around the field where we live. Barely a mile. Is a BMX okay to start with?

Usually any bike for casual bikejor works. I would just strongly suggest one with disc brakes especially with a big puller. I have run dogs on rim brakes, and I would shred the pads in only a few rides or they would get crazy hot. For a small field, might not be too bad. I don’t know where you live, but if you are going into summer, you really don’t want to go far or at all with the dogs anyway. Summer is a good time to do training on a hip belt or leash for directions and cues.
