I rode one 8 miles yesterday. My in-laws have a pair of townies, It'sa cruiser bike. No mistake. There isn't much point in trying to go faster when you hit townie terminal velocity. But it is comfortable if you don't mind the chafing from the too wide for me seat.
The quality is sufficient for a cruiser, but I don't think it'll hold up to 25 miles a day commuting without an excessive amount of maintenance.
