  1. Does anyone actually like cruisers? Personally I think they are
    revolting.

    My first was a $80 Murray. The Murray was inferior to the Huffy

    Don't knock Murray too hard, they put their name on some pretty good
    beach cruisers, like this one that I was given for free:

    Yeah, that's a classic.

    They have their charms. For... well.... just cruising. Like on the
    beach.

    I like them ok for around town, but I like fenders on my townies.
    I never quite understood why beach cruisers don't typically have fenders.

    that.

    Does anyone actually like top posters? Personally I think they are
    revolting, especially when asking if anyone likes cruiser bikes when at
    least two have obviously stated that they do. What makes them even
    more revolting is their obvious ignorance to the fact that the modern
    mountain bike was BORN FROM BALLOON TIRE CRUISER BICYCLES.

    What are you, like twelve or something like that?

    Yeah, I can see where that would be pretty tough to figure out for
    some, as they are commonly called "beach cruisers".

    John Hammond said it in a song...something along the lines of seeming
    to never rain in Southern California. I prefer a lighter bike for
    cruising, which is my most of my cruiser bikes are fenderless and pared
    down as much as possible.

    I see. I still like the fenders, and for cruising, a little extra weight
    doesn't bother me. Seems like riding it on the beach would kick sand up
    but I imagine that would depend on where on the beach you ride and what
    tires are being used.
    It doesn't rain much here either, but the fenders are still good for
    preventing the slush stripe on my back during the transitional seasons.
    I also think they earn a few style points. Especially chrome ones.

    I also like basket or rack that can carry at least a twelve pack!

    Matt (ya gotta' have yer priorities!)

    Per JD:

    I prefer reading a top post to one where somebody quotes all 300
    lines of a message and then types just a single sentence at the
    bottom.

    Nice.

    It's like "fat-fendered" cars. When I was younger that look would
    disgust me; now I find it has its own beuty.
