My 2WB Maui Beach Cruiser

Last year I started college at Chico State University in Chico California. So far, it has been the best time of my life. My sorority sisters are the best, and the parties here are super awesome. The only part of my transition into the college world is that the parking here can be a drag. The first few months of school, I would dread the mornings, because the parking fees were too high, and it would take too long for me to find parking. I would constantly be late because of parking issues, and walking was too much for me to handle all day. I would need another means of transportation if I were to make it in college.
Right away my first thought was to buy a bike. The school and all the stores are relatively close by, so biking would be a smart idea for me. Biking around campus is quite a common thing around here because of the parking problem. A bike would allow me to get to school quickly, as well as provide quick and easy transportation around campus to places my car is not allowed. A friend of mine rides around campus in a cute beach cruiser. I was admiring it one day, and asked her if she liked to ride her bike. She told me that she loved it because its cheaper than driving her car, and she gets a little exercise. I asked her where she got her bike, and she said she got it at www.2wheelbikes.com. I decided I would go online and take a look.
I went onto the website and found a bunch of cool, neat bikes to choose from. I ordered the 2WB Maui Beach Bike Cruiser from the www.2wheelbikes.com. The first thing that caught me was the hot pink paint it came in. I also really liked the fenders. I never knew that beach cruisers had fenders! I was really impressed. I also ordered the Silver/chrome Wire Bicycle Basket. I thought that my Maui would look super cute with a basket in the front. I also got the Micargi Cable Bike Lock. I was surprised that the whole order wasn’t that expensive. That’s a good thing, since most of my money goes toward school.
My bike came in the mail about 3 days after I ordered it. I was excited when it came. It didn’t take long for me to put it together. There were only a few parts to put together. After I finished building it, I had to take a step back and look at it. It sure was pretty. I immediately went out and took it for a ride. It was so comfortable I ended up riding around all day. I stopped at the store to pick up some food for dinner, and got some ice cream. The next day I rode the bike to school. The Maui beach cruiser got me to school on time. The basket came in handy, holding my backpack and purse. There is a bike rack right in front of my classroom, so I didn’t even have to walk far to get to class! I knew from the first day that I was hooked on this bike!
Now I ride my bike everywhere. I hardly ever use my car now, especially because of the price of gas. I don’t even have to worry about parking permits, tickets, or parking all together anymore. My Maui takes me all around town and I have had no problems with it. I can even ride home between classes if I want. The wire basket holds all my stuff so I can ride comfortably, and it looks good too! The bike itself is also great exercise, and its helping me keep in shape. I'm sure I will be riding my beach cruiser all throughout college. I think ill probably keep riding my bike for the rest of my life.

Beach Cruisers Are The Best!

As far as biking goes, there are many different styles of bikes for the type of riding and environment a person wishes to partake. There are mountain bikes for people who ride inclines and road bikes for people who like to trek long distances. My favorite type of bike is the beach cruiser bike. Most other bikes look and feel as if bike riding is for sport, for work, or for transportation. The beach cruiser; although it can also provide all those functions, looks and feels as is if it is made for one thing only. That one thing is leisure. It’s because of this reason that I am drawn to beach cruisers more than any other style of bike.
When I was growing up, I owned a number of beach cruisers. For a long time it was my main means of transportation. I would use it to go shopping, ride to the beach, and go to and from school. Whether it be riding to school, or just riding around with friends, being on a beach cruiser seemed much more comfortable to me than other bikes. It seemed to me like people on other style bikes were in a hurry to get somewhere, but being on a beach cruiser seemed like a final destination wasn’t even an issue. It felt more laid back, as if the ride was more enjoyable, and fun.
In my town, beach cruisers were the main style of bike ridden. I have seen countless surfers riding to the shore with their surfboard in one hand, or strapped to their bike. These bikes have a remarkable compatibility with surfers and beach goers. The shape of the frame itself is long and smooth, like the perfect wave. The rider tends to look like he is going with the flow of things, as if he is surfing the concrete. I believe that it is this type of look that attracts so many surfers to beach cruisers. Beach cities attract a more hedonistic type of lifestyle, and I think beach cruiser bikes fit right in.
I notice that lately, beach cruisers seem to be becoming more popular than ever. Quite a number of people are abandoning the functionality of geared mountain bikes for the style that beach cruisers bring to the table. One thing that is undeniable is that beach cruisers are highly customizable. From bells that look like fish, to different colored fenders and rims, to baskets and racks, there are endless ways to make a beach cruiser your own. This is why I believe that beach cruisers are the most beautiful bikes available.
Growing up in a small beach town, I have been around my share of beach cruisers. I notice that the beach cruiser style bike is embedded in that type of social atmosphere. Its style and functionality go hand in hand with laid back environment of a beach community. The name itself states that although I may not be at the beach, that is where I will eventually end up.
