Beach Cruisers

[la bicicleta]

Summer is almost here! I browsed colorful beach cruisers over the weekend. All hues, pink, peachy coral, mauve, you name it.

Post pictures of your beach cruiser! :cool:

Oh I wish! I would die for a Wasabi! (http://www.trekbikes.com/images/bikes/2008/xl/wasabi1_whitedrag.jpg)

I wish I had one for frequent trips to Port A. We rented some last fall when we went and had a blast. We plan on renting them again in two weeks.

That's a nice cruiser and the garden is pretty too!

Any other fans of beach cruiser coolness? Post pictures.

No pix yet.
Soon.
It needs a bath tho....:o It's quite dusty.

Perhaps I'll bring it out to our garden for its own photo shoot too! We can work on a theme (since there's no beach around here)......

Here's my yard sale find.... $11 (plus considerably more having it made rideable again (eeeek! No brakes!! :eek:!). I used the Schwinn Serial number chart (http://oldroads.com/sh_sn.asp) from OldRoads (http://oldroads.com/index.html) to place the bike to 1982 (I think).

The bike is actually a bear to ride. It's a tank (and I've grown used to a featherweight bike and a freewheel cassette...no back cranking to position your leg to start up with this thing). I actually can't ride it up my driveway from a stop...and I don't have a steep driveway. :o

It really needs a dead-flat path to shine. Sadly, my rolling neighborhood is not the place for it. But it is cool, tho......

I sat on a beautiful bright pink Electra Townie 3 at REI today. The price tag: $410.

Unfortunately these are not ours:

The one I'm on is a Townie Electra 3 speeds. The grey one is a Marin, one speed. Awesome bikes! I wish we had a pair, but really in this city (Vancouver) they are not practical unless you live on the beach directly...

While not technically a beach cruiser, i have ridden this on the beach. The one in front (the FairLady) is mine and the rear one is the BF's. I think they are both either late 60s or early 70s if i remember correctly...

Our wedding. :)

Real gerberas. They were really beautiful!!

Grog, we did the same for our wedding. We left at night on mountain bikes. My dress was pretty big though. I still don't know how i did that without getting grease every where! I'll have to dig up the picture. I was very cool! I like yours a lot. You look beautiful.
