Cruiser Bikes For 10 Miles A Day or More?
How are cruiser bikes for doing rides of 10 miles or more? I find
cruiser bikes very comfortable more so than mountain bikes and I don't care for road bikes. Would a cruiser bike work out for something like this or are they designed for less of a workout? Thanks, James |

The last "cruiser" bike I rode was in like 1966. So I can't give a contemporary perspective. However. If the tires are pumped up they aren't going to be any less efficient than any other bicycle with sprung saddles and heavier than normal equipment. And limited positioning options. But I suppose it is possible to ride them for long distances, yet I feel that there are better options available. -- _______________________ALL AMIGA IN MY MIND_______________________ ------------------"Buddy Holly, the Texas Elvis"------------------ in.edu__________ |

The only place cruiser bikes really suffer is going up hills. If you're going to ride for 2 or 3 hours you might want an lighter faster bike, but cruisers are fine for an hour or two. _ Try a few rides and see if you finish with a smile on your face, in the long run that's the only thing that matters. _ Booker C.
