Instructions
Select the Right Cruiser Bicycle
Decide on a price range that you want to stick with. Most cruiser bicycles are fairly reasonable, from inexpensive to moderate in price.
Research your new cruiser bicycle online before heading out to the stores near you by heading to beachbikes.net or another large retailer online.
Support your local independent bike shop, if possible, by purchasing your bike through them. If you don't find what you're looking for, however, many online retailers such as beachbikes.net will ship anywhere in the continental U.S. Just be prepared for additional shipping charges and to assemble the bike once you receive it.
Be aware that some styles allow you to put your feet down flat at a stop, while most require you to get off the seat.
Ask to see a wide range of cruisers if you're not certain which you would like.
Take a test ride before you select your cruiser bike.
Choose the look, style and gear set that will suit you for most purposes.
