single speed
coaster is fine
mostly putt around. run short errands maybe a few miles ride at most
it's all about looks for him
do the alum framed cruisers offer much benefit? my instinct is looking for alum wheels and frame but I know nothing.
this one is top of the list but out of stock

Cruisers aren't much different than road bikes when it comes to enhancing the experience. The right saddle, properly adjusted, comfy bars set in a good position, and good tires that are properly inflated will all make the experience more enjoyable.
