I really dig these cruiser bikes... I like the minimalist design of them and I think it will be perfect to serve my puposes. Here's a couple I've chosen from two manufacturers if some of you want to look at them and compare and give me your opinion...

Basically they are the same bike as you can see... Aside from the much different price tag. So far the only advantage in my opinion is the more expensive has white wall tires which I like. So what do some of you think? Any comments would be much obliged...

I thought it would be really cool to have a cruiser. So I spent almost 400$ on an extremely cute leopard print cruiser.

Rode it for one summer...
...and realized I live in an extremely hilly town and that a cruiser was near impossible.

Somethin' to think about if you live in a hilly town.
