While I don't regard big box bikes as good bikes they can tell you what type of bike you might like better. I find that most cruisers and seniors clash at the seat post not setting back enough to put their feet down or giving them room to pedal. If this is the concern then look into a "set back" seat post to make the cruiser more ridable before you invest $$$$$$$$ in a new bike.
