You can return it to us if it’s not the right bicycle for you. The Classic’s stopping power is provided via reverse pedal coaster brake system. This easy to use coaster helps to simplify the bike’s components, and also cut down on the maintenance level. A kickstand is also included, which is not something every cruiser has these days.
However, some people prefer coaster brakes simply for the ease of use, comfort and aesthetic. If you like coaster brakes, go for a traditional model. Otherwise, it’s not hard to find a cruiser bike with standard Schwinn Meridian hand brakes. You can compare the size of the frame with your inseam measurement to find the right fit. Generally, for a cruiser bike, you’ll want the bike frame to be about 12 inches shorter than your inseam.

The good thing about these brakes is that they require little maintenance. To use these brakes, you have to pedal backward, which causes the coaster brake hub to stop the bike by pushing the brake shoe against the edge of the rotating hub. The rear hub can’t rotate, which causes the rear wheel to stop bringing your bike to a stop.

The hiring by the Knott’s Berry promoter Thomas Henn of former NBA founder and President Ernie Alexander to run the race (he also designed the temporary track at Knott’s) didn’t help matters. Alexander had a reputation of deliberately scheduling NBA events against the events of other sanctioning bodies when he ran the NBA. Several ABA tracks left the ABA and joined Roker to participate in his series which were to be NBL sanctioned. With this siege mentality in his background it was easy for Mennenga to believe that USBA stole the valuable ABA membership records to proposition ABA racers to join the USBA. While the value of this list would be a motive to steal it, Mennenga provided no evidence.
With the added gears the Bruiser 3 Speed has added capability versus a traditional single speed cruiser bike. Beach cruiser bikes epitomize the saying that the journey is the destination. “A cruiser bike is for when comfort, not speed, is the goal,” says Jeff Shyman, founder and owner of Confederacy of Cruisers, a New Orleans bike tour company.

There was a rumor of one final act to survive conducted by the USBA. If true, perhaps they were thinking about the precedent of Walt Ehnart, the former President of the ABA and by then the Vice President of the USBA that they could have turned Mennenga. However unlikely it would have been, nothing came of it. To help reduce costs, the ABA ran a few selected Amateur open classes to offset, at least partially, the losses. A low turnout of big-name pros resulted due to a foregone conclusion, which meant a lack of publicity for the ABA.
Very comfy bike but it had a coaster brake that exploded and I had to buy a new wheel. This is a cheaper cruiser, so there are some reasons why. The bike is on the heavy side, which will be a bit bothersome Schwinn Meridian for a few riders. Carrying this bike is a major pain, but that’s what you get with cheaper bikes, no way around it. The ride quality is adequate, and the looks and extras are an added bonus.
