From men's beach cruisers to women's beach cruisers, 24” beach cruisers, stretch cruisers, multi-speed beach cruisers, and kid’s cruisers, you have a world of choice if you are buying beach cruisers today. Knowing what you are looking for can help you decide which beach cruiser might be right for you. Knowing which beach cruiser to buy starts with understanding the different types of cruisers:

1) Men’s beach cruisers. As the name suggests, men's beach cruisers are designed for men. Some are created to be slightly larger than women's beach cruisers, and many are designed to feature more masculine designs and colors. With customizing, a men's beach cruiser can be made to look as dangerous and masculine as a Harley-Davidson. However, you shouldn't think that you have to be a man to buy a men's beach cruiser. Many women find that they choose men's beach cruisers for style or for comfort.

2) Women’s beach cruisers. Women's beach cruisers, obviously, are designed for women. These beach cruisers are often designed to be lighter, and feature designs that can be said to be feminine.

3) 24" beach cruisers. Also called low riders, these beach cruisers are slightly smaller than the average 26 inch frame that most beach cruisers come with. Some customers find that low rider beach cruisers are more comfortable, while other customers simply prefer the look of these beach cruisers. If you have longer legs, consider trying a low rider before you buy, to ensure that you will be comfortable. In general, if you are looking for a more laid-back bicycling experience, a low rider beach cruiser might be for you.

4) Kids’ beach cruisers. The kid’s beach cruiser is designed specifically for children and is created to offer lifelong memories. The best kids’ beach cruisers are not made like toys, but rather made like quality bikes. Always check kids’ beach cruisers before you buy to make sure that you are not simply buying a trendy and attractive bicycle. Make sure that your child is getting a fun and safe bicycling experience. A quality shop such as Chubby's One-Stop Cruiser Shop can help you find a safe and attractive ride for your child. Many beach cruisers designed for children feature bright colors, personalized decals, and even brand name tie-ins from popular children's television shows. Children are already familiar with the name from the television show, which helps them get more enthusiastic about their first beach cruiser.

5) Stretch beach cruisers. Just as the name suggests, stretch beach cruisers have a longer frame than traditional cruisers. Many stretch cruisers are also low riders, featuring a 24 inch frame instead of the traditional 26 inch frame. You can customize stretch beach cruisers with a banana seat for an even more unique look. Stretch beach cruisers do ride differently than traditional cruisers, so you may want to try before you buy.

6) Multi-speed beach cruisers. If you plan on bicycling on mountain trails, hills, or away from flat surfaces, or want to pick up some speed on your beach cruiser, multi-speed beach cruisers might be for you. Some come with special tires with more treads, that allow you to go off-roading. You can select three speed cruisers up to seven speed beach cruisers at most stores.
