Even if you have to meet me halfway up the hill, it should be great.
Kool !
I love those Electras, too ! The new Schwinn !
I commuted 12 hilly miles in Vermont on a Single Speed cruiser
and the benefits of the big fatso tires and sprung seat far
outweighed (literally
) the slight speed advantage of the
'serious' bikes people in this forum talk about. Comfort, ability
to roll over big stuff, etc....Cruisers are great !!
Spin a low gear rather than trying to mash out in 3rd and stick
with it !!!
