Bike shop Upland: History of the Beach Cruiser

At our bike shop upland we sell all kinds of bikes.  No bike has more enduring popularity than the beach cruiser.
The beach cruiser is a bicycle that was designed for recreational beach riding in the thirties. The cruiser has an upright seat position, basic steel frame, single speed drive train, and balloon tires to resist sinking into soft terrain like sandy beach. Cruisers enjoyed popularity from their introduction in the 30's through the 1960's.
The 1970’s-1990’s saw a break in cruiser sales as the two-car family became the norm, and fewer people were riding for pleasure or running errands around town. Since the mid-1990’s, they have made quite a comeback, with today's interpretation often keeping the classy retro looks. Currently they are one of the hottest bicycles on the market, appreciated by many kinds of riders for casual or short rides. If comfort, affordability, mechanical simplicity, and plenty of style are your priorities in a bicycle, a beach cruiser may be just what you're looking for.

Bike shop Chino Hills: the many beach cruisers

Some rights reserved. By Marco Antonio Torres.
Bumstead's bike shop Chino Hills knows  the cruiser is a favorite of bicycle designers who like to tinker. Its simple design makes it perfect for modifying. The cruiser has provided the base for many design innovations in bicycles including the first mountain bike models, BMX bikes, commuter bikes, lowriders, and choppers.
While you may remember the kid's single speed version from your childhood, today’s beach cruisers are developed for adults too, and for more verasatile use than beach pedaling. We have cruisers with multi-speed drivetrains, suspension seatposts and forks, fenders, and super cushy seats.  

Cruisers pack both comfort and style, and no cruiser is really complete until accessorized with personalized baskets, seats, bells, and covers. Customization is wildly popular in cruisers, including all colors, special paint details, modifications, and custom lights for maximum beach or street style.

Bike shop Ontario: The Beach Cruiser


Renovo Beach Cruiser by Richard Masoner / Cyclelicious
At our bike shop ontario we sell beach cruisers to casual and in-town riders of all ages because of their affordability, simplicity and comfort. Born in the Great Depression, cruisers remain some of the lowest priced bicycles for everyday people.
Whether you want the benefits of cycling for health, running errands, or the enjoyment of lazy beach rides, the cruiser offers a relaxed ride at an affordable price. Depending on your priorities and preferences, you may want to get a multispeed cruiser, add a cushy seat, or check out some of the special lights and baskets available for beach cruisers. The cruisers of today are enjoyed by adults and kids alike, and come in all varieties.

Consumer Reports advises purchasing your bike from a local bicycle retailer rather than a big box store. Big box stores cut costs by selling cheaply-made bicycles that do not hold up to regular riding conditions. Even a low-priced cruiser at a quality local specialty shop will be made with good components that will last you through the years.
