Ridin' a Bronco

"Hey Dad, did you know there is a Bronco bicycle!?!?" my son informed me recently. For most people this statement would probably get a response of "so what?" or  "huh?" But because I am co-owner of Bronco Driver Magazine, hearing that there is a Bronco bicycle is much more interesting. Heck, it might even lead to a story somehow.

So, after a little Googling we find out that the Bronco is a model made by SE Bikes. It is a budget BMX model that might be fun to play on, or even ride around at our truck shows.

Ten days later, a big box showed up on our front doorstep. Knowing my son would never get his homework done knowing it was in the garage, I hid the box and assembled it the next day during lunch hour. 

When he got home the next day, a Friday afternoon, the garage door opened revealing the shiny, Ford-engine-block-blue Freestyle Bronco. He of course went crazy with excitement. 

It is a very nice bike. Although it has budget components, it does feel strong and safe... something very important to me (he had just flattened the front of his helmet crashing his junker BMX a few days earlier). It does have very different feel than the mountain bikes we normally ride. But this probably makes us better bikers. Big fun! 

So now he is learning tricks, watching Danny MacAskill YouTube videos, and playing in the driveway with his very own SE bucking Bronco!
