Nor is the Shimano Altus 7-speed drivetrain, but that’s not what this bike is for. But for what it is, a $800 cruiser bike with mounts to add a rear rack, and a head tube tall enough to hang a pretty deep basket off the BMX-style handlebar, the Roll 2.0 Low-Entry can double as a daily cruiser and around-town grocery-getter. Three other contemporary bike trends are related to cruisers. For decades, Latino car enthusiasts have been lowering the suspension on older American cars to build “lowriders”. Their younger siblings have begun building their own custom “lowrider bikes”.
Most e-cruisers are class 1, which means they top out at 20 mph, but some go as high as 28 mph (class 3). Bianchi lightweight 23″ men’s bicycle. 16 speed. Mavic rims. Vittoria tires. Campagnolo accessories. Good condition. From the collection of award winning actor Anthony LaPaglia. By 1972, a new wave of lightweight derailleur-equipped bicycles led a wave of new consumer interest in recreational huffy cruiser bicycling, resulting in the bike boom. Derailleur-equipped sport bikes or ten speeds inspired by European racing bicycles soon dominated the adult market. Schwinn introduced their 10 speeds in the early 60s starting first with the Continental, a name they resurrected, and later the Varsity. The Varsity was offered between 1960 and 1962 as an 8 speed and as a 10 speed between 1963 and 1982.
Lowrider bicycles are usually built on old Schwinn Sting-Ray or other “muscle bike” frames, but the entire lowrider look of “old school” accessories such as springer forks and bullet headlights is in the cruiser tradition. Several manufacturers offer “chopper” style bikes in their cruiser range. These bikes usually feature a lower center of gravity, suspension forks, hot rod paint jobs, and large rear tires. The Huffy Cranbrook Women’s City Cruiser Bike allows you to explore the world around you in a comfortable and fun way. The captivating color of this cruiser evokes the lovely allure of an elegant California wine and is just as stylish to ride as it is comfortable. Finally, manufacturers have also introduced the “comfort bike” category, to combine the soft ride and upright posture of cruisers with a more conventionally styled bike.
A leisurely cruise downtown to grab lunch can be as pleasant as an early-morning roll on a boardwalk. Most modern-day models take it to the next level or beyond (think more gears, bigger wheels, cleaner belt drives, internal gearing, mounts for racks, even motors). Knowing how and where you want to use your new cruiser bike will help you determine what else, if anything, you want from it.

A seven-speed drivetrain with a 44t chainring and 14-34t cassette opens this bike up to more variety of exploring in areas that aren’t mostly flat. This one from Tuesday costs $45 and has a spring clip to hold valuables in place. With one of the lowest step-through frames in the business, the Roll 2.0 Low-Entry is ideal for anyone who’s ever been apprehensive about swinging a leg over a top tube or being huffy nighthawk able to touch their feet to the ground at the last second. Beefy 650b x 2.3-inch tires roll smoothly on the road, but come to your rescue when the pavement gets sketchy or a sandy shortcut starts calling your name. Its upright geometry puts you in a position that takes strain off your neck and back and lets you take in the sights around you, but isn’t ideal for steep climbs up winding mountains.
Between the 28 inch wheeled track bikes that they built between the turn of the 20th century and the 1920s and the lightweight offerings they introduced in the 30s such as the Continental, Varsity and Superior, they knew their way around. These prewar bikes could be had with imported half inch pitch drivetrains with freewheels and hand brakes. In postwar production, Schwinn began producing lightweights again in the mid 40s with models such as the New World.
Snap-on attachment points let you easily add accessories like racks, baskets, child seats, and more. And a 365-day test ride and lifetime warranty means you can decide now and change your mind later. A cruiser bicycle, also known as a beach cruiser or (formerly) motobike, is a bicycle that usually combines balloon tires, an upright seating posture, a single-speed drivetrain, and straightforward steel construction with expressive styling.
