Cruising Comfort with Trail Bike Versatility,
I LOVE MY NEW BIKE!! I actually bought this from another retailer for about $3o less, but it is still worth the price at $160. I had been looking for a new bike for about a month, and I read all the reviews and tested all the cruisers out there…I had recently sold my old cruiser because it was uncomfortable and I didn’t want to be in the same situation again.
While I was in the bike section at the sporting goods store, the guy helping me out explained that although a cruiser is okay for pulling a bike trailer with two kids (my planned biking activity) It is better to be able to change gears…but I find the 18-21 gears just too much.
Then I saw this bike. It is shaped like a cruiser with the high and wide handlebars and larger seat, but it has hand breaks and only 7 gears. When I am riding, I feel like I am sitting up straight, and the suspension works great. It is PERFECT! I love the hand breaks because when I ride with my older daughter and son I have to peddle backwards and coast a lot so that I don’t run them over (one is still learning with training wheels and one is just off of training wheels…they go kinds slow). I couldn’t do that with a cruiser because of the coaster breaks.
It looks great, too – not very often do you find flair and functionality in a bike. I have had so many compliments – from a group of junior high boys waiting for thier bus to an older lady hollering out her car window!
I am 37 years old, and not in great shape. If this bike is comfortable to me, it should be for everyone!
***UPDATE*** I have had the bike for a few weeks now and I love it more every day. I did finally get a trailer, and I am SOOOOO happy to have those gears. I think I would have given up trying to pull a trailer without them. I usually cruise around in 4th-5th gear…with the trailer and both my little ones, its stays in 2nd.

|Great bike!,
This is a great bike! Not only is it stylish and fun to ride, but the 7 gears and hand brakes make it perfect for pulling the little one around the neighborhood. My husband had to work on the shifter a bit to get it to shift more smoothly, but other than that, it’s great! We searched all over and tried out several bikes before settling on this one. I really wanted a cruiser but knew that a single speed wouldn’t pull a trailer well, so I was really glad to find this one. We found it at the local Academy for $129, already assembled. Also – to answer the other question, it weighs more than 25 lbs, closer to 30 probably, but I’m only 5’2″ and I can haul it up and down the stairs, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

|Just got the bike…,
Just got the bike and there is NO way I am going to attempt to put this thing together correctly!
It will cost $65-$85 to pay a bike shop to assemble the bike and tune it up, so had I know this I would
have spent a little more and NOT bought it on-line.
With that being said, if you are a mechanic or have experience putting the brakes, bumpers, tires, steering together, its a great deal.
I will be pulling my child in a bike trailer, so I want the assembly to be perfect.
Bike itself is a great dark turquoise color with chartreuse accents. Nice size seat too.
Once I get the bike assembled and ride it I will post more…
