Beach Cruiser Bikes - Everything Old Is New Again!

By Daisy Profits


When I was a young teenager I had a beach cruiser bike and I loved it. It was my mode of transportation and took me just about everywhere I needed to go. It had wide tires so it was easy to ride on gravel and dirt and even took you over the sand at the beach with no problem. I believe that was how it originally got it's name, beach cruiser, due to the fact it was the best bike for riding along the sandy beach shoreline.

The new improved beach cruiser bike is easy to pedal up hills and really fun to fly down the other side. You can burn those calories with more exertions pedaling up the hill and relax and catch your breath as you soar down the other side.

The one speed beach cruiser still comes with the easy to use old fashioned brakes. You just push back on the pedal and come to an easy stop. With the one speed beach cruiser, there are no hand brakes so you don't have to worry about keeping your hand over the brake lever while you are riding.

The beach cruiser bike also comes with straight handle bars so no back discomfort from hunching over to hold on. You can pretend you're a kid again and ride "the no hands way", Well until you have to make a turn. Then you just grab the handles and contol the bike around corners.The new beach cruiser has such a solid frame and structure that it makes it easy to ride with no hands.

Another plus on the beach cruiser is it's padded and comfy seat. It is actually built to sit on, not like other bicycle seats. The beach cruiser bike seat is the widest seat on a bike and it comes with lots of cushion. With all these features, the beach cruiser bike is the best comfort bike you can buy. Good on your back and comfy for your tush.

Now fast forward forty years and join me in the present day. Remember I mentioned the beach cruiser is the best comfort bike on the market? I am now in my late fifties and the bike in my garage that I ride is a newer beach cruiser! Comfort is the priority in my life now and the beach cruiser bike still meets all the criteria. I may not look as cool when I ride it but I still feel young and free when riding my beach cruiser bike.
