300 Miles in 2 Days on a 41-lb , One-Speed Huffy Cruiser

Their upright riding position, wide handlebars, and cushioned seats make them a favorite for anyone looking to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. This resulted in the tubes escaping out of the tire carcasses and bursting. Spontaneously exploding tires are not a good thing.

This all-black cruiser has a modern design and an adjustable seat that makes it suitable for riders of different heights (though it’s best for teens to adults). I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one gear and bogged down going uphill. 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. Beyond serving as a practical mode of transportation, Arianna has given me plenty of good times riding along the Pacific Ocean on the famous strand that stretches from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail.

Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist seeking a laid-back option for your collection, or a newcomer ready to embrace the cycling lifestyle, cruiser bikes are the perfect summer ride. With a variety of models available, from vintage-inspired designs to modern interpretations, there’s a cruiser bike out there to suit every taste and need — and Walmart has them all ready for summer and at great prices. Grab coffee on the huffy trail runner ride and carry it in the convenient beverage holder on the handlebar. This is a classic cruiser with a front basket, a built-in rear rack, a cup holder, and a matching set of fenders to keep you dry. It features a coaster (aka pedal-back or foot brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. With a single gear and coaster brakes, this bike is perfect for new riders and sized for teens and adults.

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. 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. 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.

Pop your favorite beverage into the cup holder and toss your keys, phone and sweater in the basket. The rear rack is perfect for bookbags, groceries, or whatever else you need to transport. This lovely periwinkle one-speed bike includes a deluxe padded spring saddle, dual density grips and pedals, and a simple coaster brake for easygoing adventures and pure fun in the fresh air. At the bike rental store I had we rented single speed cruisers. 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 stuff.
