What to Expect - Cruiser Biking

Cruiser bikes, or path bikes, are the most commonly used bikes in cities or vacation destinations as they allow you to explore an area and have fun doing it. Cruisers are easy to ride, have a relaxed geometry, and can come in a variety of sizes and styles (see below).

If you’re planning on riding a paved path or exploring a city but don’t care about how fast you do it, these are the bikes for you.

Types of Cruiser Bikes

Here are a few different types of bikes that fall under the cruiser bike category:

Beach Cruisers Rentals - Typically single speed bikes with reverse pedaling to brake. These are super fun, low-maintenance bikes made for flat area biking.

City Bike Rentals: Similar to beach cruisers but typically have gears and hand lever brakes instead of pedal brakes.

Hybrid Bike Rentals: Hybrid bikes are essentially city bikes but have a little bit of suspension on the front fork and slightly fatter tires that allow you to ride on slightly rougher surfaces like gravel. The term hybrid refers to the bike being a hybrid between a city/road bike and a mountain bike as mountain bikes typically have suspension.
