Bikes of Yesterday: 1963 Schwinn Fleet Cruiser Bike

Schwinn Traveler features a rear rack for your cargo, and it’s a nifty yet thoughtful addition. The Schwinn Cruiser bike is not good for anyone who wants to go fast. It is also not good for anyone who wants to ride long distances. This type of bicycle is best suited for short rides around town or on trails. The Schwinn Cruiser bike is a good choice for people who want a comfortable ride and do not mind going slow.

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. The objective of this blog-style format is to open up conversations and have objective and casual discussions about what we use and why we use it. Hopefully, this comes across more like a genuine conversation with a friend over a coffee or beer than a sales pitch or corporate product launch. Yes, we sell bikes and components, but at the end of the day, we are all just bike enthusiasts that are on the hunt for products that speak to us.

With Christmas coming up, I made a deal to have mine ordered in time for the big day. “We are thrilled to team up with Schwinn, the creator of America’s most iconic bicycles,” says John schwinn tricycle Jacobs, co-founder and chief creative optimist (CCO) of Life is Good.

Rediscover what a ride can be with a cruiser electric bike by Schwinn. I’ve had it for just under 2 weeks, I’ve only ridden it 16 miles so far but I love it! Assembly was a breeze,

Some reviewers have stated they felt it should have been a 48 volt bike, but in my opinion, it does just fine with 36 volts. The release of the 1985 film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure[15] highlighted the main character’s cross-country search for his lost custom-built heavily-accessorized horn-tank bicycle. Jeff enjoys participating in various road and gravel cycling events. Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2009, Jeff uses his bike to fight inflamatory bowel disease.

In conclusion, it’s heavy, hard as hell to ride, but damn if it isn’t one of the coolest bikes in my fleet. The final step was to channel the essence of 1970’s bike hippy and get to skidding. I stole some old blue jeans from my dad, grabbed some leather boots and gloves and got to spraying dirt!
