Great cruiser bike

3 years ago

Very comfrotable bike. Great for neighborhood riding and bike paths. The wider, higher handlebars don't leave me with back and shoulder pain and I can ride it for 20 miles on a rails to trails path easily without soreness. I added the Electra white wide fenders that are made for it and they block mud and water off the tires quite well.

High quality cruiser bike

5 years ago

This bike has a new geometry wherein you sit further back and lower to the ground. This makes it easier to reach the ground with your feet, and means that you sit straighter up without putting weight on your hands and arms. It is more of a recumbent position and I have found it makes for a comfortable ride. The quality of the components (brakes, gears, bearings, seat) is impressively high and exceeds expectations and it seems easy to make adjustments as needed. My only complaint about the bike is that it is too easy to turn! I'd rather that it stayed more in a straight groove. I imagine this is part of the geometry and that if the front wheel position was moved forward this issue would disappear for me. Note: The handlebars are somewhat wide - it is comfortable in riding but just be aware if you are riding on a sidewalk there may be little clearance between say a fence and a light pole. All in all a great bike with helpful features and high quality all around.

Smooth, Sturdy, and Retro

2 years ago

I bought this bike to replace my 30+ Year-old road bike. I didn’t want another road bike because the posture was hard on my wrists. This cruiser fit the bill! So easy and comfortable to ride, and I love how the seat is set so your get can almost touch the ground. The gears are really easy to shift as well. The only downside is the weight: this girl is very heavy, but it feels so sturdy I don’t mind it too much.
