But, given we were only going a few hundred yards – and on the grounds of a large resort, it seemed a bit silly to lay out the cash for any of those (which, btw, were quite expensive). We suggested some sort of bike or scooter, but the resort didn’t quite have one that fit the bill. So one night while out at Target we stumbled upon this $99 bike, and decided I’d have a go at converting it from a ‘nice’ schwinn dealers bike to an ‘awesome wedding ride’. Several years ago, California cyclists adapted the word “cruiser” to their world of sandy beaches, and enjoyed riding old
balloon-tired bikes along the ocean’s edge. Next, it was time to start adding accessories. We picked out a handful of things – from a rear rack for my bride to sit on, to a front basket, to a little ding-dong bell that had a custom label on it.
A comfortable seat and upright handlebars are standard on all Cruisers. New this year is optional Schwinn custom-designed Cruiser Carrier. The name “Schwinn” in front of the title “Cruiser” means a solid, comfortable ride on a cantilever frame bike that is always in
style. That’s why the words “Schwinn Cruiser” are something special if you agree that first class on white-walled balloons is the
only way to roll. The “Deluxe’s” Spring Fork gives you an extra smooth ride.
The special edition bikes will combine the signature bright colors Life is Good is known for with Schwinn’s iconic and much-loved cruiser bikes.
