Cruiser bikes



Recommended Posts

I haven’t ridden a bike in years. My husband and I started discussing getting bikes so we could start riding and keep moving. I was a bit intimidated at first because I had no interest in a racing type bike. I was so excited when I ran across the beach Cruiser Bikes. We ordered them, (although you can buy them at stores) put them together and I feel really stable and safe riding it. There are a bunch of brands and styles out there.

I’m 58 and my husband is 63 and I recommend this style to anyone in our age group. It’s a more comfortable ride and easier on your back. I love having another option for exercise.

We've been enjoying our cruiser bikes for 10 years! I had rny surgery 8 weeks ago, and getting back on my bike was one of the things I was most looking forward to. We rode around Chicago today and tomorrow we're hitting up a country trail in Indiana! Enjoy the ride!20190831_143656.jpeg

Thanks! Looks like we are in the same neck of the woods.

What kind or brand of bike rack works with these, or do you have a SUV/truck?

Are you in the Chicago area as well?

I use the Allen Sports brand, which holds 3 bikes. It fits on any SUV or car. You can find them at Amazon or Wally World.

Yes, I’m in Geneva/Batavia west of the city. Great bike path up the Fox, I think it goes to Elgin.

Thank you for the brand. Sorry, one more question, do you use the hitch mounted one or trunk? I would like to get away with trunk mounted if possible.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
