Cycling BMX - London Olympics 2012 Cycling BMX Live Stream Online, Results - The fast and furious sport of BMX makes only its second Olympic appearance at the London 2012 Games. The BMX races at London 2012 will be held on a short outdoor track, with the riders starting on an 8m-high ramp. Each race lasts around 40 seconds. BMX bikes have only one gear and one brake. Most racing riders use wheels that are 20 inches in diameter – roughly two-thirds the size of wheels used on a standard road bike. Bikes need to be strong enough to endure the wear and tear from the jarring landings after jumps, yet light enough to remain fast and competitive.
