On the flip side, personally I wouldn't do it because I might want to take it for a longer ride some times or for errands and the cruiser could be a handicap for that. The two cruisers in our household seldom get ridden, my wife and son generally preferring the mountain bike.
Really? Why is so inconvenient for running errands a side from being a longer ride? Maybe is because the bags get heavier that would be my thinking, just curious cause I can't tell the difference, I've never had a cruiser before. I'm getting very indecisive cause would love to have a cruiser but at the same time allot of people seem to like mountain bikes better for the job. Not to mention that I've been watching videos of the Fat Bikes and I'm just like amaze on what this bikes do. However a fat bike to me seems more fun and recreational, so choice number 2 other than the cruiser will be a mountain bike...
jdswitters I love your cruiser bikes they are awesome
