I bought a beach cruiser style schwinn last summer, that has breaks & a few gears (necessities for me). It's an ok bike for how little I use it, now that I no longer live in subdivision with sidewalks & trails. But, because I now have no where to ride, unless I haul my bike to a local walking/riding trail...I wish I'd bought a better quality/lighter weight bike, as it's a pain to lift & mount on a bike rack. It sure looks pretty sitting in my garage though. It's black & pink...very pretty
