I’ve decided to get a bmx bike so I can go riding with my son who is just learning to ride.
I bought him a new Verde Vectra 18”

For myself I found a used 2016 We The People Atlas 24. After looking online at 24” and 26” bike I thought this would be the best option. And what an opportunity to have a higher end bike.

But the problem for me is the seat height. I guess I didn’t realize my knees would be in my chest when pedaling from a seated position.

I’m looking to get a longer seat post for more height but not sure if this would be a good idea.

It’s been 30 years since I’ve ridden a bmx, and did road cycling for a while which I really enjoyed.

Thoughts?
