Question: perfect women's cruiser?
Quote | Reply
My wife would like an "around the town/commuter" bike. I'm hoping for suggestions based upon these requirements:

must have a fully enclosed chainguard
the top tube must swoop down so that she doesn't have to swing her leg over and can wear skirts/dresses
would hopefully have a rear wheel shroud to keep out said dress
should be multi-speed
Needs to not be exceptionally heavy

Any suggestions?

If she is looking for a true "townie" or beach cruiser, these are great. I think they come in a single speed and 3 speed. Great designs too. Very cute bikes.

Electra Pink Fink. 3 speed. Fails the "not too heavy" qualification but makes up for it with style.

There is one at my LBS and I long for it. I took it for a test drive and it is SO much fun to ride.

Yeah, the electra's are cool too. My hometown is like Townieville... tons of fabulous cruisers around, some clunkers too though. I've been dying to buy a new one, but I have a work townie that I use and can't really justify another one out of my own pocket... so I drool.
