Cruiser bikes

[Cheeseburgh 3,075]

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!

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.
