When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking. ~ Conan Doyle
The cruiser bicycles were America's favorite bikes in the 1930s through the 1950s and are making a comeback today. Their wide tires and simple mechanics (commonly single speed with coaster brakes) are ideally suited to riding on flat surfaces and sandy beaches.
