just make sure you lock it up... if it is left unlocked some one who drank to much will think it will be fun to ride!... every year people loose there beach cruisers! but they are fun to have there...
I've always wanted to bring mine but I've hear A LOT of stories of bikes being stolen. Walking sucks by the 3rd day but a little exercise (to work off those beers) is better than losing my bike!
Damnit! I don't want my cute black/pink beachcruiser stolen!! Hmmm. We have locks and plan on locking them up while we sleep to the truck.. hmmm. think I'll be fine?
My guess, the more people in your camp site, the safer the bikes are. You can always lock the bikes to the truck somehow...
Well thanks for your opinions.. 16 days!!! Come party if you see us!
We had our bikes last year. We stayed in a motel, had our bikes on a car carrier and parked on the companion lot. It was great riding our bikes to all the different areas. It's lots of fun being able to cover so much territory. the walking can be brutal.
The downside......
We always had to remember when we parked them..... lock them.
We had lights....a must at night.
We had to put them back on the car carrier when we were done and they went everywhere the car did, kind of a hassle.
We're still deciding about bringing them again this year.
Bring bikes!!!
the reason they get stolen is because some drunk left his at home and is tired of walking so he took your bike because IT WAS UNLOCKED and then rode it to where he was going. I don't think I've heard of any locks being broke to take bikes. I just think its more of a joy ride thing.
I bought me a used Auto-bike to take. It belonged to my stepson and has been in the garage for years. Hope it's still in good shape. My only concern is if my feet will reach the ground when I'm on it. DUH! Being short sucks sometimes.
I know how you feel. Just took our beach cruisers to March Meets a bit back and I have to jump from my seat to touch the ground. :(
Well, I reckon I'd better take it out of the garage and give it a looksee. I'll be bummed if I don't reach.Quote:

Is it possible to ride beach cruisers up town to the store? from the camp grounds?
Reed, I am sure it is. As long as you have your wristband on to get back in.
It is also very entertaining to watch the drunks on bikes. We saw one poor guy break his nose but didn't spill his beer!!! Here is a hint.... you are not 12 years old and can't do the jumps, wheelies and other tricks you use to back in the day on your bmx. You are on a beach CRUISER....it is for cruising.
My kids bring their bikes but I have to be sure not to ride them after drinking because they are fixies and have no brakes. Yes I am that good mom that lets their kids ride bikes without brakes. Again, entertainment.
LOL, as long as you can reach the pedals, you should be fine. I don't reach the ground from the seat of any bike I own :)Quote:

Glad I'm not the only one who can't reach the ground.Quote:

Shes the DD, he'll be the 'motor' :eek:Quote:
