Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: - Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels, and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
- Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
- Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.
The Right Price
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. - Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
- Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
- High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultralightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.
The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: - Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
- Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
- Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.
The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: - Helmet (this is a must!)
- Seat pack
- Lock
- Hydration pack, or water bottle and bottle cage
- Spare tubes
- Portable bike pump
- Gloves

 Delivery was speedy., May 11, 2008
By bdgcat954 (IN)
|
|
The bike arrived with a few small scratches and dents. It was difficult to put the bike together because the directions were poorly printed...the photos/diagrams were so dim I really couldn't make them out. I haven't got around to riding the bike yet...it's sitting in my hallway. After putting the bike together and setting it on both tires, the tube in the front tire blew out before I had a chance to sit on the bike. I called to get a replacement tube; however,the seller wouldn't replace just the tube. The seller offered to replace the entire bike; however, that meant I'd have to take the bike apart and repack it so I decided against returning the bike.

Uncomfortable but gets the job done, March 16, 2009
By Nelly (Arizona, USA)
|
|
I read all the reviews and thought it was a bad idea to buy it but I had very little money and really wanted a beach cruiser so I went for it. When it arrived the box was really beaten up but luckily nothing was bent or dinged. I was amazed that there was nothing to cushion the parts, no packing peanuts, no cardboard inserts. The parts were just thrown in a box.
It didn't come with any instructions so I had to look them up online and print them out. After about a half an hour of assembly I road it for all of a minute when the chain got caught on the chain guard (lol) so I had to bend it a little, it hasn't given me any problems since though. So then I road it again and the handle bar and seat both turned around in their sockets and I almost crashed. So I had to have my boyfriend tighten them so hard that the seat doesn't spin anymore but it will never adjust again, it's permanent where it is.
The handle bar foam is really cheap and I can see it just cracking and falling off in not too long.
The seat is so uncomfortable that my pelvis and tail bone feel bruised after only a 3 mile ride.
The handle bar at it's highest adjustment and the seat at it's lowest adjustment is not at the heights normal beach cruisers should be. A normal beach cruiser allows you to sit up straight while riding whereas this bike I have to bend over slightly because the handlebars are at the same height as the seat (almost like a racing bike).
When I first road it I was quoted saying "This bike is a death trap!". Now admittedly after finagling some of the parts it's no longer a death trap but it is still a reeeeeally cheaply made bike. I have a mountain bike from walmart that was the same price and it's far better quality. I really think you're paying for the style of this bike and not it's parts, otherwise you'd be paying like maybe $50 for it. I will admit this bike looks super cool and it does get me around for fun but if you're planning on using this bike a lot then don't buy it (your butt will thank you).
As soon as I save up money I plan to sell this bike on Craigslist and get an Electra or maybe a Schwinn from a bike store where I can test it out first.

 Huffy cruiser a decent basic bike, September 5, 2008
By Storysplicer (Boston, MA)
|
|
With the right tools, listed in the instruction manual, I was able to put it together pretty easily. I found a digital version of the instruction manual on Huffy's website, which helped a lot because the photos on the hard copy they sent me were blurry. It's a very heavy bike. It was cheaper than anything I could find in Boston, new or used. It would be a good Burning Man bike because of the very wide tires. The front fender is a little crooked.

 Cute, but some flaws, June 21, 2008
By Emily K. Mitis (Texas USA)
|
|
It arrived pretty much untouched, except one small ding in the front fender, but it's hardly noticeable. It's really cute and is just what i was looking for in a cruiser! Assembly was a bit aggravating though because a design flaw in the front fender made it really hard to align and I had to makeshift a way for it to work. Other than that it was really not too difficult! The color is really nice, more gold than vanilla on the actual body but its really shimmery and pretty.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY, June 18, 2009
By epc (Honolulu, HI)
|
|
Yes, this is a cheap bike. I now understand that I should not expect a lot from a bike for this price. The instructions were terrible, and it was missing a screw. tAfter I put the bike together, I took it for a ride and the handlebars gave out, almost making me crash into a pole! After I tightened all the screws, the bike still makes a weird clicking sound and is very unstable.

Poorly packaged, but very useable bicycle, May 26, 2009
By R. Eggers (Kansas)
|
|
I was concerned when this bike arrived with several large (meaning small basketball) sized holes in the box. It didn't appear that the bike was missing any pieces or damaged at all though. The only difficulty putting it together was with the front fender...without the picture on the box, there are no instructions on how to do it, but not too hard to figure out. Had to tighten the handlebars again once using it for awhile, but now I think they are set (had a male friend tighten them more). A male friend of mine rode this bike about 10 miles and really enjoyed the ride, especially the cushioned seat. This is great for short commutes or just getting around. Not great if you are planning going up and down a lot of hills as it is a bit heavy and doesn't have any gears.

Slow shipmeng, October 5, 2008
By daisy (USA)

Shipment comes very slow. A lot of work to put it together (and no tool included so must have your own tool set). The back peddle break is not very easy to use, especially for new bikers. But that's what you paid for...

Gold Huffy Cruiser Bike, June 10, 2009
By J. Brown
|
|
This bike does its primary job only. The quality is very poor. The paint scratches off super easily. The breaks don't allow you to come to a complete stop. The fenders bend easily so that they rub against the tire. I have to continually bend it back. I think the seat is quite comfortable but my friend says it was not. The color is a bit different than in the picture. It is darker and more yellowish-orange. The handlebar cushions are slowly coming off the sides and have already smashed down after only having the bike for 3 weeks. Even though there are a lot of negative qualities about it I love it.

By mustang (La)

I purchased the Huffy Newport Women's 26-Inch Cruiser Bike, And also The Men's 26". The Huffy Newport Women's 26-Inch Cruiser Bike is a better bike than the mans one. It has machined rims vers stamped steel(they were bent pretty bad on mens bike). very happy with that purchase.

It's wonderful!, September 16, 2010
By biker
|
|
The package it arrived in was a little bit damaged, but the bike itself was in a perfect condition. There was no manual how to assemble it,
but it's not that difficult so i just needed less than an hour to do it. I had a wonderful experience just riding it in the streets, and when i was parking it somewhere near shops lots of people made complements about it, how nice and lovely it looked. I think it's a good product for the money you pay for it.
If you don't need a mountain bike but just want to have a nice cruise, this is what you need. And i love it.

Worth the money, April 3, 2010
By J. West
|
|
I bought this bike because my other bike got stolen at college (buy strong bike locks). I got this bike the day after it was shipped. The packaging was fine, but the manual was a little warped from being in the box with the bike, but the directions were fine. Setting up the bike was good. If you have common sense on how a bike is used, putting it together isn't really hard. Add the handle bars, front wheel, pedals and bike seat. You dont have to worry about putting together the brakes.
The only problem I had was I couldn't tighten the handle bars. When I would go a ride it, and the handle bars would slide down. I just recommend getting someone stronger than you to tighten it for you. I think its worth the money.
