Most e-cruisers are class 1, which means they top out at 20 mph, but some go as high as 28 mph (class 3). Bianchi lightweight 23″ men’s bicycle. 16 speed. Mavic rims. Vittoria tires. Campagnolo accessories. Good condition. From the collection of award winning actor Anthony LaPaglia. By 1972, a new wave of lightweight derailleur-equipped bicycles led a wave of new consumer interest in recreational huffy trail runner bicycling, resulting in the bike boom. Derailleur-equipped sport bikes or ten speeds inspired by European racing bicycles soon dominated the adult market. Schwinn introduced their 10 speeds in the early 60s starting first with the Continental, a name they resurrected, and later the Varsity. The Varsity was offered between 1960 and 1962 as an 8 speed and as a 10 speed between 1963 and 1982.

If you need some huffy nighthawk two-wheeled therapy, a beach cruiser might be your saving grace. Grab one of these rides for a leisurely roll around town, on a trail, or, if you so desire, on the beach. This classic cruiser comes with matching fenders and seat and a coaster brake (also called a pedal-back or foot brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance.
The low-end model, (also described in ads’ fine print as a cruiser), was the crusader “chaser,” and the ladies’ the crusader “clipper” and ‘cutter” models to complete the nautical theme in the product naming scheme. Navy Cruiser ships were depicted in the Mead Cycle Co. ads. For riding the length of a boardwalk or ambling along Main Street, one gear is all you need—and it frees up a hand to hold a soft-serve twist. But if your rides are a little more challenging than the flat, coastal roads around your favorite seaside town, consider a beach cruiser with multiple gears.
We’ve ridden as many of these cruisers as we could get our hands on. The ones that haven’t been tested have been carefully chosen based on what they offer. These are the 15 beach cruisers we recommend for laid-back bike rides—no matter where you are. Even though the idea of the beach cruiser is to slow down your fast-paced life, there’s nothing wrong with speeding up your laid-back life. Pedal assist can do wonders for your downtime by letting you get to the beach sooner and cut your departure time closer, ultimately extending your day and bringing you home in time for early-evening beers and BBQ.
In 1980, Schwinn introduced the Cruiser Series which has survived multiple iterations and has been offered more or less continuously through present.
