Beach cruiser bikes are for the leisure rider who rides more for
recreation than competition. Most cruiser bikes have retro or vintage
looks, reminiscent of the time when cruiser bikes made their first
appearance and became popular several decades ago.
Many people think of Schwinn when they think of beach cruisers. This is
because Schwinn cruiser bicycles were popular in the latter half of the
20th century. Cruiser bikes were an effort by Schwinn to jump-start the
market by creating a bike targeted at youth. In the 1930s, founder Frank
Schwinn wanted to build a bike that was versatile for recreation and
durable. He built both the men's and women's World B10E Motorbikes. In
the 1960s, consumers preferred multiple speed bikes and were more
inclined to the BMX bikes. New models were introduced, and handbrakes
were added.
Beach cruiser bikes have long and round handles and fenders Some bikes
come with oversized seats and leather grips to make riding easier. They
also have wider tires. Cruiser bikes may also have coaster brakes, which
allows you to brake my pedaling slowly or reverse pedaling.
