Biking is good healthy fun. An activity offering lots of fresh air, sunshine, and safe, low-impact exercise is something everyone could benefit from, and biking is also fun for the whole family. But many are intimidated by all the gears and gadgets, and many find narrow seats and skinny wheels make biking uncomfortable for the beginning rider. Beach cruiser bikes are a great alternative for any riders of all ages, offering simple operation and a comfortable ride.

Beach cruiser bikes give a smooth and comfortable ride allowing the whole family an opportunity to get on board. Wide tires smooth out the bumps and make even rough terrain easily traveled. Mom and dad, even grandma will enjoy gliding down the trail on a cruiser bike. Unlike the narrow, hard seats of many other bikes, the wide, well-padded seats make for a comfortable ride, even on long jaunts. Riders of any age will ride in a comfortable, upright posture, as restful as sitting in a chair. These types of bikes make riding fun for everyone.

All those gears and gadgets are not a problem with a beach cruiser bike. Simple and direct push brakes make operating the bike easy for riders of any skill level. Instead of a number of gears to choose from, beach cruisers have a single sprocket that is geared to allow for easy peddling. A beach cruiser even makes climbing hills a breeze.

Bike riding is fun, and the health benefits are tremendous. It is a safe and enjoyable activity the whole family can enjoy. No one need be intimidated by the fear of an uncomfortable ride. Safe, simple and comfortable, biking is for the whole family. So everyone should grab a beach cruiser bike and get out there and ride.

For those of us who have been around since the days of post world war II, the cruiser bikes were a common sight seen on the roads, as these were the most popular two wheelers back in those good old days.

As it is said “fashion is such an ugly thing that it doesn’t stay around for long and has to be changed regularly”. Same fate was met with by the early day cruisers which almost disappeared from the roads just as puddles do after days of sunshine.

But not for long as the days came back again when the collectors started hunting for the classic vintage models for refurbishing the antiques at the turn of the century. That is when the Schwinn started producing the long lost designs once again as they started gaining popularity with the antique style lovers, especially those who had paddled them in their childhood and still remembered the comfort and stability that came with the additional weight and its famous balloon tires.

Today you can find the same old comfort in a beach, multiple speed, and stretch and kids cruiser bike. Just for the old time’s sake get on one and let yourself take a ride down your memory lane when the sun shone bright and you had your youthful smile fixed on your face when you first got your new cruiser for the first time as a child and paddled down the street to show it off to your friends.

You can repeat the history with your grand children with a kid’s cruiser and watch your childhood replay in front of your own eyes. As your future generation paddles along the road in the same way as you used to do half a century ago. Those were the good old days.
