I recently made a quick jaunt to Santa Barbara and while there, my son and I had the chance to ride a couple beach cruiser bicycles around town. We had a blast riding down to the end of the pier, up and back State St (or was it Dr - don't remember) and then around to 3 Pickles Deli for lunch. At one point I thought I could go no further, but then... further I went.
The minute I arrived home I started checking craigslist.org for used beach cruisers (I'm unemployed again so forget paying retail!) and now to my delight, I'm the new proud owner of an old, beat-up Electra 3-speed cruiser. It is white with pink flames on the fenders and pink wheel rims. How do you say no to that? You don't.
After a quick stop at Sprockets in Santa Cruz for a new kick stand, pink basket and colorful biking helmet, I am ready to cruise my way to less FAT!
It's going to be a fabulous ride.... will you join me?
