Fenders Bicycle

Having fun with beach bicycles

A beach bicycle is as sleek as it is comfortable, as useful as it is individualistic. For people who love to relax and look good, there is no better vehicle to cruise the beach than a beach bicycle.

Beach bicycles first appeared in the 1960s. Sounds ancient? No way. These bikes have been modified in bits and pieces to improve both their looks as well as usefulness. Today, these bikes look good and feel great. Their wide tires make it easy to navigate concrete roads or gravely beaches. The shock absorbers, extended handlebars, baskets and wider seats ensure rider comfort. Fenders at the rear are fortified with supporting wheels so that the basket can even carry a small child. Added to that is the fact that you can customize the beach bicycle to a great extent. Fit them with bells, horns and other accessories to have the time of your life. Little wonder that people love these nifty machines.

Beach bicycles are not really meant for speed. The machine is best suited for a laid back cruise. Even so, in the last ten years, beach bicycles are being made meaner and faster than before. They have utilities like Springer Forks, spokes and Duck tail fenders. The bicycles even have hanging baskets that may be detached from the bike. Meant to remind you of motorbikes!

These days, beach bicycles are made of lightweight material. That makes it easy to ride them, maneuver them and transport them. However, the lightweight design has made it difficult to catch a ride at the back of the bike.

So, which bike should you buy?

Many folks skimp and save money by buying cheap beach bicycles. But most cheap bicycles are mass produced and have a tendency to show their true worth after a while. Cheap parts cannot last long, naturally. Soon, ball bearings wear away, wheels become misaligned and other pesky little problems rear their ugly heads. If you attempt repairs, you might end up paying more than the money you saved by scrimping in the first place.

Also, there is an increase in exertion levels when riding these bikes as they do not ride as smoothly and easily as high quality beach bicycles.

You would notice the difference in ride quality between lower end models and high quality bikes when you upgrade your beach bicycle. High quality bicycles offer a smooth, comfortable ride. They are built in such a way that components that undergo wear and tear may be replaced without the replacement affecting the whole. Also, high end models require very little maintenance. Thus, in the long run, they prove to offer you better value for money.

So, buy from a reputed dealer, spend a reasonable amount of money and become an expert on accessories. That’s the best way to buy a dream bike!
