Review on Ride In Style With The Huffy 24" Panama Jack Women'S Beach Cruiser Bike In Sky Blue by Byron Elliott

I'm a mid-30s female, started 2020 at 240lbs, have since gained another 40 over the course of a year. I have a road bike but the lighter frame and tires only the width of a dime I felt like I was going to make it collapse. So I wanted something with a sturdier frame and wider wheels and one where I could sit more upright, hence I started looking at cruisers. This is one of the few that has all the features I was looking for-hand pull brakes (NOT a pedal brake)-7-speed-wide solid frame-wide tires-upright position-wide comfy seat-rear cargo carrier-front basketAfter having it 3 weeks one probably gone around 15 miles total on it, and some.od the features I wasnt looking for but absolutely love:-soft padded handle grips that come in a woodgrain pattern-handle bars are wide but not at wide as some other cruisers I've ridden where wide handlebars make turning difficult AMD awkward-fenders kept pants from getting totally wet and muddy if the weather is bad-reflector on rear fender-springs on the seat-make riding over a pothole less painful!-IT HAS A CUPHOLDER! AND A BOTTLE OPENER! Mostly excited about the cupholder, it's nice to take a short leisurely ride and sip a glass of sweet tea-white frame-while I was hoping for a more colorful frame, turns out the white makes you more visible at nightCons:Putting it together was difficult but not impossible, however mine had an issue with shifting smoothly between gears so I took it into REI and they were able to fix it and show me some.other things that would have helped when I was putting it together. Even if you put it together yourself I'd recommend taking it in after 50 miles or so.-Won't fit traditional bike carriers like the ones that hook into the trailer hitch and the bike rests on bars that go through the frame-To do use it with an upright carrier on a car with a roof rack, when you remove the front wheel you must also remove the fender-the basket is small and the leather straps holding it to the bike are cheap, ove already ordered a different basket, there are a ton of optionsOverall I am so pleased with this bike! I'm getting out of the house every day, losing about 4 lbs a week and saving on gas $$ because I can bike to the grocery store!It's just a sturdy, fun, good bike!
