Women's Cruiser Bikes

Modern bicycles are not nearly as much fun as the classic, vintage cruising bikes of days gone by. Perhaps it is because so many people use their bikes for hardcore exercise, for daily commuting, and otherwise place much more demand on their bikes than they used to. In days past people used to cruise leisurely along on big bikes with big banana seats and U-shaped handlebars that were easy to use and not so stressful on your back. In my opinion they were MUCH easier to ride too!

In my early 30s I decided I wanted to start riding a bike again but the modern women's bikes were not at all what I wanted. I kept imaging the lemon yellow bicycle I had as a child with a banana seat and huge handlebars with a basket attached. I LOVED that bike and I wanted something similar to ride on my local trails and park bicycle paths. Lucky for me cruising is coming back.. or at least the cruiser look is! The following are some beautiful women's bikes with a classic, vintage, beach cruiser look.

It is constructed around a high-tensile steel frame, and it is equipped with a comfortable double-spring saddle and full fenders. Stopping power is provided by a rear coaster brake and front hand brake, and slightly knobby tires provide excellent grip.

The Retro Kitty is equipped with such features as a proprietary Galaxie frame, 26-inch whitewall tires with Hello Kitty treads, and full-length fenders. The double-spring Hello Kitty saddle and cruiser-style handlebars, meanwhile, are designed for all-day comfort. Perhaps the sweetest feature, however, is the bike's two-tone pink retro/white color and shape, which call to mind the classic ladies' bikes of the '50s and '60s. Other details include a Hello Kitty bell, a coaster brake, and a welded kickstand. The Retro Kitty fits most women who measure 5 feet tall and up.

Cool, smart, and ultra-comfortable, the Nirve Paul Frank Skurvy women's single-speed men's cruiser bike gets you to your destination in style.

Perhaps the coolest feature, however, is the proprietary Galaxie cruiser frame, which was designed by renowned artist Paul Frank. Simply put, you can't find a cooler ride anywhere. Other details include white vintage grips, whitewall tires, and a welded kickstand.

Despite all the innovation and advancements in bicycle technology, nothing beats sitting behind the broad, sweeping handlebars of a nice beach cruiser. Enter the Della Cruz 3 women's beach cruiser bike, which combines classic cruiser styling with modern technology--specifically a well-hidden three-speed drive train that's controlled by a twist shifter located in the palm of your hand. The shifter makes it remarkably fluid to switch gears whether you want to pedal a little harder on flat terrain or lower the gear for a hill. The Della Cruz 3 also offers such features as a custom fork with a chrome-plated strut, rustproof aluminum rims with stainless-steel spokes, a Diamondback springer cruiser saddle, and Kenda whitewall cruiser tires.

Riding the Verso by Kettler Capri Cruiser is like being carried off on a cloud. The relaxed retro design of the aluminum frame, easy pedal 3-piece crankset and swept back cruiser style handlebars allows the rider to pedal effortlessly all the while keeping them in an ergonomically superior upright position. The extra wide padded saddle along with support springs is more than enough to handle any bump in the road. Convenient features include full metal fenders and chainguard. Dual sided pedals that allow a ride with or without footwear--adding stylish and panache to its design. The large front basket is generous enough to carry virtually anything. The riding experience that the Capri will deliver will transport any rider to the exotic island it was named after and have them thinking of a laid back carefree summer day.
