They are comfortable riding bikes when setup properly.
Youre not the only one. When I was on the Facebook group people would show their bikes and with the way the seats where set up you would think the average height of the rider was 5 ft or less. I’m just average height. 5-10 inseam of about 31, and even with the extra height of the brooks my seat post is almost at full extension. When stopped my toes touch or I have to lean a bit to get my foot flat. Maybe on some of the Electra’s you can do this but not on the cruiser. I never got the deal with it because how often are you stopped?
I have the steel framed cruiser and with all the ad ons the seat especially its close to 44 lbs but the only time it feels heavy is when I’m loading it in the truck to go ride. Cruising along the few extra pounds makes the ride nice and smooth.
