I wanted to have the lowest possible rolling resistance for this ride, after all. This 24″ cruiser is comfortable to ride and has so many stylish features. While Huffy has been one of the big bike boys on the block for some time now, they are fairly new to the cruising community. Known mostly for city and mountain bikes, Huffy’s cruisers do not compromise comfort in any way.
She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars. It wasn’t nearly enough to wipe out the sleep debt from the night before, but at least the bed was more comfortable than the weeds. After that, I decided it was a good idea to let some air out of the front tire to obviate the risk of that one popping too. Whatever the case, my wish for a relaxed, sit-down lunch stop at the Shell Station was now shot to pieces. I would have to bust out the wrenches and Phillips screwdriver to disconnect the rear coaster brake and undo the rear axle due to the lack of quick releases.
A funny thing was that motorcyclists kept waving as I was crawling back up the pass. This has never happened to me before when I was not riding a motorcycle. Maybe they thought a cruiser bicycle with a round honking headlight was “close enough” to being a Harley-Davidson’s brethren? This classic cruiser comes with huffy cruiser 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. We believe in offering the very best value, quality, and selection.
I was now less than a half-marathon away and could feasibly jog back home were an ill-fated mishap happen to the iron steed now, like another tire explosion. Traffic got even heavier between the Mishawaka Amphitheater (Mile 170) and Ted’s Place (Mile 189), and I was thankful for lights and reflective gear while on this narrow-shoulder highway. For about 20 minutes during this stretch, raindrops were tapping the helmet—curious considering the weather apps had claimed a 0% chance of rain. Indeed, there seemed to be plenty of blue sky ahead and to the south. Only two blocks away from Walden’s Shell gas station—the official turnaround point of the ride—I rode by three guys having a chit chat in front of someone’s garage when there was a loud bang.
You can fully design your ride to your liking with our one-of-a-kind accessory bundles. I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one huffy trail runner gear and bogged down going uphill. It was still a pleasant ride, though, especially considering how the serious road bikers stared as they passed me on their expensive bikes in their ridiculous clothes. Beyond serving as a practical mode of transportation, Arianna has given me plenty of good times riding along the Pacific Ocean on the famous strand that stretches from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail. She has a bit of rust on the fenders and the seat has cracked, but that was easily fixed with duct tape.
