I got my hands on a pink Hungarian Schwinn lady's cruiser. Anyway, I was taking it for a test ride and it feels different than my old men's cruiser. It feels like I am sitting above the pedals more and that the bottom bracket is lower to the ground. I'm not mad at it. It's pretty comfy. Anyway...

I've had this bike in various forms for 10 years now. The frame is at least that old. At one point it had a motorized kit on it. The apes aren't much newer. The rear hub is a sealed bearing flipflop hub I got for Xmas 5 years ago. The chain and sprocket are about 6 months old. The seat is 2...

In Austin, there's a ton of folks on bicycles. I know there used to be a group called Austin Kroozers or something like that but its been years. Anybody know of any bicycle clubs in Austin that don't involve 5000.00 road biks & spandex?

I write for a local website and came across the Austin Bike Farm. It's essentially a bicycle salvage yard in Austin, TX. Plus they got a sweet ramp in the back. Here's the link to my article. They got a little bit of everything. For what it's worth, two of the three employees commute 10 miles...

Hey guys, It's been a while. I hope everyone is doing well and made it through the holidays intact. Anyway, I was thinking about helmets. I don't really wear one, and the thing about our cool bikes is that most helmets don't match the style or panache of the bikes (this includes BMX or...

I am using standard beach cruiser wheels. Can I put 26 x 1.5" tires on these things? Or can someone point me to the direction of a related thread?

Do you guys want to see a rat rodded fixie cruiser?

I have a youtube channel and decided to document a build of a motorized bike. So I got a donor bike for 40.00 at longhorn bikes and currently have it stripped down and painted. I also got my hands on a Kent Superscooter, you know, one of those BMX scooters from the 80's. My brother in law...

I found another article on Kickstand.com about the bike culture in New Orleans. It was written last August: http://kickstandmag.com/uncategorized/where-did-all-the-cruisers-go/

I found this video on the internet, my buddy was watching it and I figured ya'll would get a kick out of it: http://funnyvideos.todaysbigthing.com/2010/04/20

About how old were your kids when you started to teach them how to ride a bike? I have a neice who is five. Is that too young? I think I started in the 1st or 2nd grade. Any tips?

I've been reworking my mother-in-law's tricycle. It's been interesting to say the least. Turns out that her seat post tube is 1" in diameter. The seat post is 7/8" all the way. YIKES!! I probably should not have thrown that away two years ago. The newer ones taper to 7/8". Plus it uses a...

Just wondering if anyone in the Austin area would want to get together some saturday.

thought I'd share it with you guys here. there are some cool designs: http://www.2wheelbikes.com/chopper-beach-cruisers.html I just found it while looking around so I don't know anything about this place's reputation.

http://kickstandmag.com/bikes/when-is-a ... a-classic/ Well for me, I am not into the restoration thing, and I definitely keep my bikes and such under 200.00. Some of the costs mentioned in the article blew my mind. I can understand how they could cost so much....but I think it takes away...

Does anyone know the gear ratio that these fixie dudes use on their bikes? I want to build another suicide bike.

brakes are overrated. :lol: I've put some miles on my bike, in traffic and what have you, and haven't been worried about being brakeless one little bit.

I noticed something about my 3spd wheel and chain and all that. When pedaling the chain gets real tight, then real loose. Usuall that means there is a wobble somewhere, like the sprocket isn't lined up right? I would assume that the culprit would be the crank and sprocket. Any ideas?

Brazos between 7th and the famous 6th street. With no brakes on my suicidal rat, I decided to walk this stretch The world famous Antones So cruising down 4th street, east towards I35 I came across these two chicks on bikes and they told me about this big a** ride that was about to happen. So...

A quick rundown: The frame is a used Huffy Cranebrook, that had a tore up front wheel when I got it. Then it had a two stroke motor kit on it, then I painted it black and added the front forks that I got off of a mt bike my brother gave me. After that, I put a 4-stroke engine on it but I...
