It is great to hear from a fellow Huffy cruiser enthusiast! That’s so great you rode your 2003 FrankenHuffyTrailKroozer across Missouri. I am even familiar with the stretch of the Katy Trail near St. Louis, as I’ve biked and ran on it while visiting my girlfriend out there.
Aside from trashed tires and one flat tube, it mostly needed just a cleaning to make it presentable. I shelled out for two new, slightly wider tires (no whitewalls), tubes, and handlebar grips, removed the decals, and added a bell and reflectors I already had. The front fork and chainguard were a very dull silver (a.k.a., gray) that detracted from the look of the chrome fenders, so I sprayed on two coats of Rustoleum gloss white. This cruiser bike is made in a vintage style, with a seafoam green color to match. If the bike is single speed or internal hub geared, chains with internal width of 1/8″ / 3.2mm are usually used. This is probably what you need. This turned out to be one of my fondest adventures.
Their upright riding position, wide handlebars, and cushioned seats make them a favorite for anyone looking to enjoy the journey as much as the huffy nighthawk destination. This resulted in the tubes escaping out of the tire carcasses and bursting. Spontaneously exploding tires are not a good thing.
This all-black cruiser has a modern design and an adjustable seat that makes it suitable for riders of different heights (though it’s best for teens to adults). I took her up Independence Pass this week but she has just one gear and bogged down going uphill. It was still a pleasant ride, though, especially considering how the serious road bikers stared as they passed me on their expensive bikes in their ridiculous clothes. Beyond serving as a practical mode of transportation, Arianna has given me plenty of good times riding along the Pacific Ocean on the famous strand that stretches from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail.

Chains come in one length and are shortened to the appropriate length for the bike by removing links and joining the ends. A special tool is needed to push out a pin to shorten the chain.
Lots of choices for plating and color if you want a little fancy or rust resistance. Now when you say multi-speed with rear derailleur, there’s the kicker. You’ll need a little skinnier to get through the drive-train. From brands you can trust, like Kent, Concord and Huffy, Walmart has cruiser bikes for the whole family. All you need to do is pick out your favorite style and color and get ready to enjoy the ride. Even if it’s been a while since you embraced pedal-powered transportation, remember — it’s just like riding a bike.
The Huffy had not even arrived at my doorstep before I was planning a grand adventure for it. Colorado Springs seemed a natural destination for it since my friends Lisa and Jeremiah lived down there. I figured, maybe I could combine the ride with a visit to them and maybe join in some sort of late evening cruiser ride that is en vogue in hip cities such as Portland or Fort Collins.
