Beach Cruiser Bicycles: Are They Still In Vogue?
Have you had the pleasure of cruising through the beach on a bicycle? Well if you have you already know the feel and you are probably wanting for more. It is the perfect recreational activity for those who dwell in coastal cities and even for those who are on a beach holiday. While these cruiser bicycles have been termed as beach cruiser bicycles they are not just limited to the beach but all the semi-flat type of ground that you see around your neighborhood. They can be ridden along large lakes, college campuses, large urban cities and flat rural areas. They have grown in popularity amongst people of all ages from all communities.
Beach cruiser bicycles were first manufactured in the 1930′s by Frank Schwinn during the Great Depression. These bikes were targeted at the youth market that majorly consisted of the working population. Their popularity caught upon a huge number of customers around the world throughout the 1950′s. The quintessential beach cruiser bikes have faced a drastic evolution in their design and style since then. Additional features like Springer fork suspension, motorcycle-style horn tanks, extensive chrome plating and fringed saddlebags were seen jeweled on these bikes. Also there were models introduced in the British market that were lighter, sporty and had multi-speed features.
Although, since a long time now we have witnessed incredible development in technology in the motoring arena, in recent years, biking has been given much emphasis due to its several benefits to the human body. It increases and enhances your body stamina and helps build muscles. It is inexpensive and pollution free. Overall, it is the most eco-friendly, fitness-friendly and wallet-friendly alternative to various other commutation vehicles. People have come to acknowledging the fact that these various benefits is an added feature to the ultimate joy of riding along the cool breeze of the open-air surrounding gushing through your hair and body while riding along this masterpiece of a vehicle.
Even today we have beach cruiser bicycle styles that echoes the vintage classics collection styles that are characterized with upright seating, wide balloon style tires, comfortable wide seat and an overall modest construction to keep life simple. You also have a wide range of accessories available that would help you personalize your cruiser bicycles. These may include different color seats, different basket designs to be attached at the front that serves as a carrier, different types of horn and beach ball style ringers and just about anything that is in vogue and helps design your bike in your own unique way. As summer sets in it is very apparent from the number of beach cruiser bikers on the road to know how much in demand they are even today. They are still and always will be a priced possession for all the bike lovers.
