Go get breakfast, head out for a mid-day workout and hit the bar on the way home. You’ll look stylish wherever you are, and you’ll be able to ride all day on this cycle if you want to. It’s cushioned saddle seat sits at just the right height, no matter how tall you are. This classic cruiser comes with matching fenders and seat and a coaster brake (also called a pedal-back or foot huffy trail runner brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. If the bike has a derailleur 3/32″ / 2.4mm chains are used. Derailleur chains are also specific to the number of rear gears. 6, 7 and 8 speed systems use the same chain. Like the Huffy Perfect Fit Frame Womens’ Holbrook Cruiser Bike, the Around the Block comes nearly assembled with all the tools required for set up.
Chains come in one length and are shortened to the appropriate length for the bike by removing links and joining the ends. A special tool is needed to push out a pin to shorten the chain. The chain is joined by either using the same tool to push in a special pin, or by using a special split link – which is generally easier to do. I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one gear and bogged down going uphill.
When I envisioned the ride I also figured I could swap out the pedals for any of the clipless pedals from my other bicycles. This would allow me to pull up and back on the pedals, using the hamstrings, instead of simply stomping down. But the Huffy pedal axles turned out to be spindlier than the clipless pedals. Short of rigging, say, toe clips and straps to the plastic Huffy pedals, I would have to use them as is with mechanically inefficient street shoes.
Unlike the Huffy, the Around the Block bike is still a perfectly comfortable bike for riders who aren’t quite 5 feet tall. The Around the Block by sixthreezero is meant to be your outdoor best friend. It’ll feel like you’ve worked it in the minute you hop on it. The amount you can expect to receive in store credit when trading in your bike with a dealer. I did conclude one more thing from the ride, however. Lance Armstrong would not have beat me to Colorado Springs if he was riding the Huffster and I was riding one of my other bikes.
Single speed and mulit-speed, done with multi-speed hub (sometimes called internal gearing, hub has a single drive gear) is usually 1/8″ width size 1/2″ spacing, generic huffy trail runner stuff. Lots of choices for plating and color if you want a little fancy or rust resistance. Now when you say multi-speed with rear derailleur, there’s the kicker.

It was still a pleasant ride, though, especially considering how the serious road bikers stared as they passed me on their expensive bikes in their ridiculous clothes. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail. I was forced to buy Arianna after a homeless person stole my other Huffy (it’s customary in Santa Monica to blame virtually everything on the homeless). But I went to a few bike shops and all the cruisers cost between $300 and $1,000.
The padded spring saddle and dual-density grips and pedals provide comfort on your journey, while the coaster brakes promote easy stop and go action. The Huffy Perfect Fit has dual springs and dual-density grips and pedals for comfort on longer rides. It comes with a beverage holder and rear rack, which gives you great options for a ride just like the Around the Block does when outfitted with our handy accessories. This resulted in the tubes escaping out of the tire carcasses and bursting.
It is great to hear from a fellow huffy cruiser enthusiast! That’s so great you rode your 2003 FrankenHuffyTrailKroozer across Missouri. I am even familiar with the stretch of the Katy Trail near St. Louis, as I’ve biked and ran on it while visiting my girlfriend out there. The Huffy had not even arrived at my doorstep before I was planning a grand adventure for it. Colorado Springs seemed a natural destination for it since my friends Lisa and Jeremiah lived down there.
Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to. She has been left for days in the rain, sleet and snow in both California and Aspen. She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars. Huffy cruisers are packed with comfort features to keep you going.
