Question about bikes...

What is a cruiser bike? DH and I want to buy some bikes, they will have to be cheaper, but I'm wondering what exactly a cruiser bike is? Are they good for long rides? I have no clue about bikes lol.

A cruiser bike is the kind of bike you'd ride casually on fairly flat level. Cruisers are the kind of bikes you'd ride on a beach boardwalk. If you want to ride long distances and hills, then you'd want more of a road bike. If you want to ride on slightly rough terrain, then you'd want a hybrid bike. If you wanted to ride a rougher terrain (large rocks, branches), then you'd want a mountain bike.

Another type of bicycle is the cruiser. Often referred to as the beach cruiser or sand cruiser, this type of bicycle features a more upright posture for the cyclist, balloon tires, single-gear drive trains, and often plush seats and curved handlebars. These combine to make the cruiser bicycle a fun enjoyable ride. You can use this bicycle to go sight seeing or enjoy a lazy afternoon cruising around the beach.
