There's an interesting collection of 1980s retro BMX pictures in a recent DailyMail article. As well as all the old BMX bikes, all the old 1980s fashions and cars can also be seen. There are many more 1980s retro BMX pictures in the DailyMail article.

Brill photos and nostalgia, technically over a decade earlier than my childhood, but still recognisable.

Lovely times before mobile phones and internet, riding everywhere / anywhere all day, building jumps, exploring demolished buildings etc, home in time for tea.

Quite amusing that its taken 40 years for those photos to reach the public domain; nowadays the kids are uploading them live to tiktok!

From what I can gather, the pictures are all taken from a book that's going to be released. Apparently it's titled 'We Were Rad'.

One of the comments below the line in the DM article was something along the lines of 'The eighties were the last generation of kids to grow up playing outside'. I read that and I thought, that's so true. The nineties was when computer games started moving from niche and geek to mainstream (still got my MegaDrive). Certainly when I was a kid I spent many hours outside, riding my bike, playing football, and all manner of other physical activities. Often I was several miles from home, but was always back for lunch and tea.

Is it any wonder that so many kids now are overweight?
 
I've just ordered the we were rad book, all of those pictures remind me of my childhood in the 80s. We were definitely Rad, I might still be.
