And the wire basket and adjustable rear rack are perfect for a backpack, iPad, or stack of books. With the double density grips and pedals (I can even wear sandals without any foot slippage) it will be a comfortable ride and cheap mode of transportation. This is a classic cruiser with a front basket, a built-in rear rack, a cup holder, and a matching huffy trail runner set of fenders to keep you dry. It features a coaster (aka pedal-back or foot brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. I’ve experienced this before, a result of over-inflating the Huffy’s tires. The rims on this bike were not exactly machined to military precision and don’t seem to “grab” onto the tires’ wire beads very securely.
Wearing glowsticks on the neck and wrists and reflective orange bands on the calves, I set out onto dark roads illuminated only by the super-bright headlight of the cruiser. One great thing about setting out at this cricket-chirping hour was that there were very few cars on the road. It was a particular relief to make it out of the Poudre Canyon shortly after the last remnants of daylight disappeared.
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? After making a stop at Gould to resupply with water and buy a huffy trail runner can of Coke and mini-donuts—the ultimate anti-bonking combo—it was smooth sailing down to Walden. This was because all the aerodynamic drag from the upright cruiser position and rolling resistance from the bike’s beach tires acted as a second and third brake.

If the bike is single speed or internal hub geared, chains with internal width of 1/8″ / 3.2mm are usually used. This is probably what you need. Grab coffee on the ride and carry it in the convenient beverage holder on the handlebar. The 26″ Huffy Deluxe Cruiser has classic fenders to keep you dry, plus special features like the padded spring saddle and dual-density grips and pedals for comfort and improved handling. Get ready to ride in retro style. As you can see, I love to ride to our Farmer’s Market on Monday’s and Friday’s.
A ship’s wheel design is featured on the chain wheel, while a wood-grain finish is used on the chainguard, rack and other areas of the cruiser. Make your daily commute more exciting with the Huffy Women’s Deluxe 26 in Cruiser Bike. The durable Perfect Fit steel frame comes with a rear rack and a front basket to carry your essentials, while the 26-inch x 2.35-inch tires and steel rims supply a smooth ride. The cruiser-style handlebars and padded spring saddle seat add comfort along the journey. Even though the Huffy Cruiser is awesome exercise for the older sector, this bike has become quite popular with younger college students. Imagine your daughter or grand-daughter cruising the campus on this beauty!
It seems, however, that the sun-baked asphalt and 95-degree temperatures in Walden were enough to increase the tire pressure just enough to cause the tire explosion. Kind of like the reverse of Bill Belichick’s scientific explanation for Deflategate, if you will. You can bet I was most relieved to see the sign below—definitely the climax of the entire ride.

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. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I may live in an active-adult community, but this grandma isn’t over-the-hill yet! In fact, I feel much younger whenever I’m on my Huffy Cruiser. I’ve added a few photos of my Huffy hangin’ out in Solivita (which means ‘Life in the Sun!’) where I live.
