The Huffy had not even arrived at my doorstep before I was planning a grand adventure for it. Colorado Springs seemed a natural destination for it since my friends Lisa and Jeremiah lived down there. I figured, maybe I could combine the ride with a visit to them and maybe join in some sort of late evening cruiser ride that is en vogue in hip cities such as Portland or Fort Collins.
I was forced to buy Arianna after a homeless person stole my other Huffy (it’s customary in Santa Monica to blame virtually everything on the homeless). But I went to a few bike shops and all the cruisers cost between $300 and $1,000. Explore the ideal new ride in our range of kids’ bikes, electric bikes, ride-ons, and more!
Lots of choices for plating and color if you want a little fancy or rust resistance. Now when you say multi-speed with rear derailleur, there’s the kicker. You’ll need a little skinnier to get through the drive-train. From brands you can trust, like Kent, Concord and Huffy, Walmart has cruiser bikes for the whole family. All you need to do is pick out your favorite style and color and get ready to enjoy the ride. Even if it’s been a while since you embraced pedal-powered transportation, remember — it’s just like riding a bike.

The chain is joined by either using the same tool to push in a special pin, or by using a special split link – which is generally easier to do. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Little did they know that my bike was taken off the showroom floor next to the infant section at a toy store. Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to.
If the bike has a derailleur 3/32″ / 2.4mm chains are used. Derailleur chains are also specific to the number of rear gears. 6, 7 and 8 speed systems use the same chain. I did conclude one more thing from the ride, however. Lance Armstrong would not have beat me to Colorado Springs if he was riding the Huffster and I was riding one of my other bikes. When I envisioned the ride I also figured I could swap out the pedals for any of the clipless pedals from my other bicycles. This would allow me to pull up and back on the pedals, using the hamstrings, instead of simply stomping down.
