We rode around town last night and had a great time. Buy some nice cruisers if you have a place to ride them, and especially if you have a significant other- they will open up a whole new side of biking. At the risk of sounding really fruity - Now you can ride a bike, smell the roses and spend some quality time with the one you love. It's nirvana.

Reactions were great too. Met a bunch of new people. They would comment and so we would stop and talk, a few people even wanted to ride them. People from cars would smile or laugh and wave. The only sour point was a bunch of fat girls in a metro that yelled "fags". :rolleyes:

My camera battery died not too far into the ride so I'll just post the few pics that were taken

haha yeah that was on purpose. She bought it a few days ago and by complete accident the bike matched perfectly so she had to wear it :)

Cruisers rock and yours are sweet! I love "cruising" to the brewery on mine :) NICE

I wish my town didn't suck for cruising. Nice stuff, Derek.

She's Hot and you look like a Punk :D ( JK about you looking like a Punk)

Looks like a fun. My town is suppose to be building a rail-trail bike path. when they finally do it I Plan on riding it with my Kids on my Chopper.

Some day I will live in a town where a cruiser bike is the preferred mode of transport. When that happens I want an old schwinn tandem for me and my sweetie to cruise around on. And a single cruiser for going to work and stuff. Maybe I could get rid of my car and fill that space of my garage full of bikes! :D

Congrats. I thought the wifee had a black cruiser already?!?!?! I would like to get one for the wife, and suggestions for getting one in the Seattle area? I want an inexpensive one and could use some suggestions.

Yeah but she wanted one a little more girly. Now its our spare. We are going to get one more so that when we have friends over for dinner we can go on after dinner cruises:)

Not sure what you are meaning by inexpensive. The electras run 2-700 bucks

if you look online you can get them for 100 and up. I got mine in Olympia, I don't know much about Seattle bike shops, sorry!

This may be a first, but...

Yea, I agree.

Nice! Cruisers rule. My wife and I bought each other cruisers last summer and they have been far more fun than I ever thought.

We get comments on them all the time as well, it's cool.

Heading out to the brewery the other night:
