beach cruiser

Casual coastal bicycle

A beach cruiser is a bicycle designed for casual, comfortable riding on flat terrain.

It typically features wide tires, an upright seating position, a single speed or few gears, and swept-back handlebars.

The frame style evokes mid-20th-century American bicycles: She pedaled her beach cruiser along the boardwalk.

Also called a cruiser bike.
