A ship’s wheel design is featured on the chain wheel, while a wood-grain finish is used on the chainguard, rack and other areas of the cruiser. Make your daily commute more exciting with the Huffy Women’s Deluxe 26 in Cruiser Bike. The durable Perfect Fit steel frame comes with a rear rack and a front basket to carry your essentials, while the 26-inch x 2.35-inch tires and steel rims supply a smooth ride. The cruiser-style handlebars and padded spring saddle seat add comfort along the journey. Even though the is awesome exercise for the older sector, this bike has become quite popular with younger college students. Imagine your daughter or grand-daughter cruising the campus on this beauty!
Traffic got even heavier between the Mishawaka Amphitheater (Mile 170) and Ted’s Place (Mile 189), and I was thankful for lights and reflective gear while on this narrow-shoulder highway. For about 20 minutes during this stretch, raindrops were tapping the helmet—curious considering the weather apps had claimed a 0% chance of rain. Indeed, there seemed to be plenty of blue sky ahead and to the south. Nevertheless, the precipitation felt refreshing.
And the wire basket and adjustable rear rack are perfect for a backpack, iPad, or stack of books. With the double density grips and pedals (I can even wear sandals without any foot slippage) it will be a comfortable ride and cheap mode of transportation. This is a classic cruiser with a front basket, a built-in rear rack, a cup holder, and a matching huffy nighthawk set of fenders to keep you dry. It features a coaster (aka pedal-back or foot brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. I’ve experienced this before, a result of over-inflating the Huffy’s tires. The rims on this bike were not exactly machined to military precision and don’t seem to “grab” onto the tires’ wire beads very securely.
You’ll be back to enjoying your bike in no time at all.
Whatever the case, my wish for a relaxed, sit-down lunch stop at the Shell Station was now shot to pieces. I would have to bust out the wrenches and Phillips screwdriver to disconnect the rear coaster brake and undo the rear axle due to the lack of quick releases. More unnerving was the realization that the ruptured tube was not salvageable and that I’d have to use the only spare tube in my emergency kit to replace it. I had patches for punctures, but it didn’t occur to me earlier that split tubes were a real possibility with this bike. I should have brought at least two spares to have a higher margin of safety. Chains come in one length and are shortened to the appropriate length for the bike by removing links and joining the ends.
