The Huffy had not even arrived at my doorstep before I was planning a grand adventure for it. Colorado Springs seemed a natural destination for it since my friends Lisa and Jeremiah lived down there. I figured, maybe I could combine the ride with a visit to them and maybe join in some sort of late evening cruiser ride that is en vogue in hip cities such as Portland or Fort Collins.
Lots of choices for plating and color if you want a little fancy or rust resistance. Now when you say multi-speed with rear derailleur, there’s the kicker. You’ll need a little skinnier to get through the drive-train. From brands you can trust, like Kent, Concord and huffy trail runner Huffy, Walmart has cruiser bikes for the whole family. All you need to do is pick out your favorite style and color and get ready to enjoy the ride. Even if it’s been a while since you embraced pedal-powered transportation, remember — it’s just like riding a bike.
It is great to hear from a fellow Huffy cruiser enthusiast! That’s so great you rode your 2003 FrankenHuffyTrailKroozer across Missouri. I am even familiar with the stretch of the Katy Trail near St. Louis, as I’ve biked and ran on it while visiting my girlfriend out there.
Men’s Sanford Cruiser Bike is way more than a bike for the beach. The easy-to-use coaster brake and stainless-steel fenders will keep you dry and in control, no matter the weather. The perfect fit aluminum cruiser bike frame with an integrated rear rack combines durability, comfort, and convenience. It features a padded spring saddle accented with embroidery, plus ultra-comfortable dual-density grips and pedals to ensure every ride is comfortable and fun. Spend quality time with friends or enjoy a quiet ride alone on a Huffy Girls’ 24 in. You’ll love the cruiser bike’s exclusive Perfect Fit frame, which offers a super-comfortable ride.
I was forced to buy Arianna after a homeless person stole my other Huffy (it’s customary in Santa Monica to blame virtually everything on the homeless). But I went to a few bike shops and all the cruisers cost between $300 and $1,000. Explore the ideal new ride in our range of kids’ bikes, electric bikes, ride-ons, and more!
This all-black cruiser has a modern design and an adjustable seat that makes it suitable for riders of different heights (though it’s best for teens to adults). I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one gear and bogged down going uphill. It was still a pleasant ride, though, especially considering how the serious road bikers stared as they passed me on their expensive bikes in their ridiculous clothes. Beyond serving as a practical mode of transportation, Arianna has given me plenty of good times riding along the Pacific Ocean on the famous strand that stretches from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail.
But the Huffy pedal axles turned out to be spindlier than the clipless pedals. Short of rigging, say, toe clips and straps to the plastic Huffy pedals, I would have to use them as is with mechanically inefficient street shoes.
