Beach Cruisers used to be seen only at the beach. The smooth curves, larger tires, and laid-back design of the cruiser have created the perfect bicycle for a comfortable ride and basic transportation. Riding a bike does not get much easier than on a cruiser. Style can really come in to play when you are not concerned about being the next Lance Armstrong or a downhill mountain biker. Surfers and beach goers have been riding this style of bike for years and the wave has spread across the land from one coast to the other, and from the Gulf of Mexico all the way into Canada as beach cruiser bikes are creating bicyclists by the thousands every year.
Beach cruisers are a basic bicycle with wider handlebars, and larger frame tubes, platform pedals and tires that are usually over 2″ wide. The large and comfortable seat found on these bikes provides the perfect cushion for an easy cruise around the beach, around your town, campus, neighborhood, city, park, bike path… the list could go on and on. Basically, if you do not want to ride real fast or tackle tough terrain and prefer a very comfortable ride that allows you to soak up the views, then a cruiser could be the perfect bike for you.
Traditional brick-and-mortar bike stores and web-sites sell beach cruisers to people all over the country as well as Canada. When their business started they were sold mostly to people living along the coasts – but times have changed. Beach Cruisers are being ridden in virtually every State in the US. There are people enjoying them in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Montana, Wyoming as well as the other 45 states. The great thing about beach cruiser bikes is that they can really be tailored to your own style. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors as well as both men’s and women’s frames. In fact, these bikes are so universal that entire families are purchasing them for Mom and Dad and all the kids. Many riders who are retired are purchasing them to ride after not riding a bicycle in years – but be prepared – many of them have had to buy a bike as gifts for their grown children after they see how stylish, fun and easy to ride these bikes are. Plus, attach a basket, bell, horn, rack and pretty soon you will leave the car at home and cruise around via your own pedal power.
A Beach Cruiser is a universal type of bike and if trends of the past few years continue, who knows how far the popularity of cruiser bikes will spread!
