How about practical? What do you want to use this for? Groceries? Library? Or just looking cute?
What Zen said, er, asked. Whatever.
Hi :)
You should take into consideration distances you plan on traveling as well as terrain. If you have any hills at all you're probably not going to like having a pure cruiser. A coaster brake and 1 or 3 gears just aren't going to be very functional unless all you do is cruise the boardwalk.
Also, how tall are you? Unless you're a really "normal" sized woman the Electra bikes and most cruisers aren't going to work very well for you. The Electra bikes only come in 1 women's and 1 men's size. Thats why I didn't get one. (Since I'm 5'2...)
There are many options for custom building a bike that will meet all your needs as well as be comfortable. You just have to determine what your needs are....
I like the 3rd one the best. So long as you are riding mostly flat land and you don't need to lift the bike (and carry up stairs!!!), these are all good candidates. Make sure that whichever bike you pick has a place for a rack so you can carry groceries on it.
Good luck and have fun!
welcome to TE by the way! What city/country will you be riding this bike in?
