Cruisin’ the Beach on a Bike
August 15th, 2007 by The Capitalist
People do all kinds of things at and around the beach, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that some ride bicycles there! In fact, there are even bikes sold especially for that purpose: Beach Cruisers.
These are low-cost cruiser bikes which are good for a leisurely pedal near the beach. And there’s a site dedicated to selling them, too: XYZBikes.com. At the time of this posting, they’re selling a lot of them for only $88.00! If you like a fancier look, you can get it. There’s a low-rider version whose looks mimics a low-rider motorcycle, and even that one’s on sale for $145.
XYZBikes isn’t your typical ecommerce site. They have a store, of course, but there is also an extensive blog area which covers everything from bike assembly to XYZ’s concerns with shipping methods, where they even solicit opinions (I say to go with DHL!!).
The store section has a lot of pictures of the bikes. The cool thing is that instead of the usual monotone background, they actually show their bikes on a beach! And you can see that it’s a real beach, not some indoor set.
There are also several other beach-themed pictures throughout the site, which really help set the mood (and make me wish I was on vacation NOW).
It looks like XYZBikes.com’s the place to go for a beach cruiser, and if you go while the sale’s on you’ll get a great deal!
