Best Mens Cruiser Bikes

It's getting warmer and I've reviewed the best cruiser bikes for men. For some reason these bicycles have not always been accepted as well as the women's. It's got something to do with looking uncool or geeky. Those who are conscientious about the environment will not care what their peers think.

Leisurely riding through the neighborhood is a relaxing and invigorating experience. You can get exercise, see nature up close and personal and save some cash. It's a good way to just ride that allows you to sit up straight, on a fully padded seat and upright handlebars.

The only difference in the men's and women's models is the metal bar across the front frame to under the seat. It was supposed to add strength. The women's didn't have this because women rode bicycles with dresses or skirts and that bar got in the way.

Getting around town, or riding from one end of campus to the next, makes this option very attractive. While some people are electing to go "green" to prevent air pollution, this will also save money on an expensive car and all the maintenance involved.

Anyway, a lot of the attraction has to do with the comfort factor. The five to ten speeds are certainly cool looking, but being hunched over the down turned handlebars is a back breaker. Also, have you ever sat on those ten speed bikes for any length of time? It's painful riding long distances on that narrow and hard seat!

See the models below and where to buy them.

I've reviewed the most popular, highest rated men's cruisers and ranked them from least expensive to most expensive.
