Minions on Mini Bikes

Mini bikes are very small motorcycles, usually with two or four cylinder engines. There are a couple of types of mini bikes, and there are mini bike sports. Mini bikes take skill to ride, and mini bike sports are demanding and dangerous. Unfortunately, people riding mini bikes look completely ridiculous.

Pocket bikes and pocket bike racing are very popular. Pocket bike racing takes place on a smooth track, and these little two-foot high mini bikes go about 40 miles per hour and they have an adult human sitting on them, hunched over, knees beside their ears, hands gripping these tiny handlebars. They are wearing full protective gear and are deadly serious, but, honestly, they look like clowns on tricycles at the circus.

Most mini bikes are unsafe off the road, but a new breed of mini dirt bikes is becoming popular. They have extra seat padding, extra suspension and wider tires to make them more stable on rough terrain. The extra seat padding is necessary because it's harder to stand on a mini dirt bike than a regular one, so you spend more time - and absorb more jolts with - your seat. People don't just race mini dirt bikes; they also perform tricks and stunts on them, which looks comical but seems deadly dangerous.

And then there are mini choppers. Doesn't the thought of a full-grown Hell's angel type on a 15 inch Harley seem ludicrous to you? You just can't achieve that wild, mean, lawless image when you're on a mini bike chopper. You might be a wild, mean outlaw, but, seriously, it's hard not to laugh. People riding mini bike choppers just look ridiculous.
