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. Little did they know that my bike was taken off the showroom floor next to the infant section at a toy store. If you think getting around Aspen is difficult in your car, try living in Los Angeles. During the five years I lived in Santa Monica, an 8-square-mile beach town on L.A.’s west side, I think I put only about 1,000 miles on my car. The Around the Block is crafted to be ergonomically ideal, placing your body in the correct position to be comfortable and help prevent injuries. However, if you need any adjustments we are committed to making it right.
Chains come in one length and are shortened to the appropriate length for the bike by removing links and joining the ends. A special tool is needed to push out a pin to shorten the chain. The chain is joined by either using the same tool to push in a special pin, or by using a special split link – which is generally easier to do. I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one gear and bogged down going uphill.
When I envisioned the ride I also figured I could swap out the pedals for any of the clipless pedals from my other bicycles. This would allow me to pull up and back on the pedals, using the hamstrings, instead of simply stomping down. 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.
Sixthreezero and Huffy bikes are both designed to give you a stylish ride and a perfectly enjoyable ride along the beach. But, the sixthreezero Around the Block women’s 26-inch cruiser bike stands out as being an ideal cruiser bike for a variety of terrain. Take this bike to the coast, work or park- it’s always smooth sailing. This turned out to be one of my fondest adventures. Despite the mechanical issues, the bike was supremely comfortable with its fat, springy seat and upright position.
Single speed and mulit-speed, done with multi-speed hub (sometimes called internal gearing, hub has a single drive gear) is usually 1/8″ width size 1/2″ spacing, generic stuff. 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.
Unlike the Huffy, the Around the Block bike is still a perfectly comfortable bike for riders who aren’t quite 5 feet tall. The Around the Block by sixthreezero is meant to be your outdoor best friend. It’ll feel like you’ve worked it in the minute you hop on it. The amount you can expect to receive in store credit when trading in your bike with a dealer. I did conclude one more thing from the ride, however. Lance Armstrong would not have beat me to Colorado Springs if he was riding the Huffster and I was riding one of my other bikes.
