Beach Cruiser Basics

For those of you who don't know anything about beach cruisers, they feature balloon tires (wider tires) for an easier ride in the sand, an upright seating posture and single-speed mechanics. They're super durable and can withstand pretty much any punishment you or the outdoors throw at them, although I don't recommend letting the rain get to them too many times, they will start to rust. Generally, they're much cheaper than other types of bikes too making them the all-around perfect beach cruising experience.

There's basic beach cruisers and then there's the real deal custom cruisers. From a low rider design, custom paint jobs and loads of acessories, it's easy to make your cruiser an extension of your personality.

A few essentials are necessary to make the most of your beach cruising experience. Bike baskets are my personal favorite, from toting drinks to dogs they'll hold it all. Metal bike baskets are best, wicker baskets tend to get busted if you crash and whatnot.
Cup holders are also an awesome addition to your beach cruiser, they're easy to attach and most have insulated liners to keep your drink cool while you cruise. Bells and horns are a sometimes fun/sometimes obnoxious accessory for your bike as well, not completely necessary though. Lastly, a padded bike seat cover is a good way to make sure you're riding in comfort all day long.
