Whatever the case, my wish for a relaxed, sit-down lunch stop at the Shell Station was now shot to pieces. I would have to bust out the wrenches and Phillips screwdriver to disconnect the rear coaster brake and undo the rear axle due to the lack of quick releases. More unnerving was the realization that the ruptured tube was not salvageable and that I’d have to use the only spare tube in my emergency kit to replace it. I had patches for punctures, but it didn’t occur to me earlier that split tubes were a real possibility with this bike. We believe in offering the very best value, quality, and selection.

The Perfect Fit aluminum cruiser frame with integrated rear rack combines durability, comfort, and convenience. Huffy Cruiser comfort package combines padded spring saddle accented with embroidery, plus ultra-comfortable dual density grips and pedals to ensure every ride is pleasant. Maybe they thought a cruiser bicycle with a round honking headlight was “close enough” to being a Harley-Davidson’s brethren? After that, I decided it was a good idea to let some air out of the front tire to obviate the risk of that one popping too. Only two blocks away from Walden’s Shell gas station—the official turnaround point of the ride—I rode by three guys having a chit chat in front of someone’s garage when there was a loud bang. It sounded like a gunshot but I instantly realized exactly what it was when it happened. My butt knew from the way the rear of the bicycle was squirming around. Even though the Huffy Cruiser is awesome exercise for the older sector, this bike has become quite popular with younger college students. Imagine your daughter or grand-daughter cruising the campus on this beauty! And the wire basket and adjustable rear rack are perfect for a backpack, iPad, or stack of books. The Electra Townie 7D, however, does not have a basket for additional storage, lights, or fenders to keep dry. Cycling around the city is great for your physical and mental health that’s why they say if you want to be happy for a lifetime, ride a bike. There were much more cars on the road in the afternoon than during the wee hours of the day. A funny thing was that motorcyclists kept waving as I was crawling back up the pass. This has never happened to me before when I was not riding a motorcycle. Let us know about your thoughts and send us pictures of the bike. The difference is the Public C7 features a seven-speed gear system to better handle different terrains. It wasn’t nearly enough to wipe out the sleep debt from the night before, but at least the bed was more comfortable than the weeds. Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to. She has been left for days in the rain, sleet and snow in both California and Aspen. She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars. If you think getting around Aspen is difficult in your car, try living in Los Angeles. During the five years I lived in Santa Monica, an 8-square-mile beach town on L.A.’s west side, I think I put only about 1,000 miles on my car.
