I was forced to buy Arianna after a homeless person stole my other Huffy (it’s customary in Santa Monica to blame virtually everything on the homeless). But I went to a few bike shops and all the cruisers cost between $300 and $1,000. Explore the ideal new ride in our range of kids’ bikes, electric bikes, ride-ons, and more!
The chain is joined by either using the same tool to push in a special pin, or by using a special split link – which is generally easier to do. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Little did they know that my bike was taken off the showroom floor next to the infant section at a toy store. Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to.
This all-black cruiser has a modern design and an adjustable seat that makes it suitable for riders of different heights (though it’s best for teens to adults). I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one gear and bogged down going uphill. It was still a pleasant ride, though, especially considering how the serious road bikers stared as they passed me on their expensive bikes in their ridiculous clothes. Beyond serving as a practical mode of transportation, Arianna has given me plenty of good times riding along the Pacific Ocean on the famous strand that stretches from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail.
Men’s Sanford Cruiser Bike is way more than a bike for the beach. The easy-to-use coaster brake and stainless-steel fenders will keep you dry and in control, no matter the weather.

It features a padded huffy trail runner spring saddle accented with embroidery, plus ultra-comfortable dual-density grips and pedals to ensure every ride is comfortable and fun. Spend quality time with friends or enjoy a quiet ride alone on a Huffy Girls’ 24 in. You’ll love the cruiser bike’s exclusive Perfect Fit frame, which offers a super-comfortable ride.
She has been left for days in the rain, sleet and snow in both California and Aspen. She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars.
If the bike has a derailleur 3/32″ / 2.4mm chains are used. Derailleur chains are also specific to the number of rear gears. 6, 7 and 8 speed systems use the same chain. I did conclude one more thing from the ride, however. Lance Armstrong would not have beat me to Colorado Springs if he was riding the Huffster and I was riding one of my other bikes. When I envisioned the ride I also figured I could swap out the pedals for any of the clipless pedals from my other bicycles. This would allow me to pull up and back on the pedals, using the hamstrings, instead of simply stomping down.
Aside from trashed tires and one flat tube, it mostly needed just a cleaning to make it presentable. I shelled out for two new, slightly wider tires (no whitewalls), tubes, and handlebar grips, removed the decals, and added a bell and reflectors I already had. The front fork and chainguard were a very dull silver (a.k.a., gray) that detracted from the look of the chrome fenders, so I sprayed on two coats of Rustoleum gloss white. This cruiser bike is made in a vintage style, with a seafoam green color to match. If the bike is single speed or internal hub geared, chains with internal width of 1/8″ / 3.2mm are usually used. This is probably what you need. This turned out to be one of my fondest adventures.
The Huffy had not even arrived at my doorstep before I was planning a grand adventure for it. Colorado Springs seemed a natural destination for it since my friends Lisa and Jeremiah lived down there. I figured, maybe I could combine the ride with a visit to them and maybe join in some sort of late evening cruiser ride that is en vogue in hip cities such as Portland or Fort Collins.
