Cruiser bikes

A couple years ago, a friend of mine told be about her new cruiser bike. I saw it and instantly fell in love. It was SO cute. I was living downtown at the time and it was easy to ride or walk to a lot of places. I decided I just had to have one. I did a lot of research online about cruiser bikes, checking out the different styles, the prices and what not. I ended up buying a Powder Blue beach cruiser made by Huffy. It was a dream to ride! I of course added a basket and a bell to it. I rode my cruiser bike all over town that summer and fall. It was super comfortable and the exercise was good for me. I found an attachment online that was made to allow a dog to run next to you. Freedom had a blast too once we got the coordination down!

Cruiser bikes are definitely not something that a hard core cyclist would ride, mainly because there aren't any gears on them so going up hills and stuff was a little harder than I was used to. Mountain bikers and BMX rider probably wouldn't enjoy the cruiser bikes either but for those of us that just ride occasionally and want to enjoy a nice Spring day.... they are perfect.

Once Alex gets big enough, I want to get something so that I can take him on a ride too. I have great visions of him and I someday riding bikes together.
