Around The Block Women's Beach Cruiser Bike

Went shopping in several bike shops for a beach bike, only to find a long wait list for delivery and extremely high prices. Found these bikes (Purchased 2!! Coral & Teal) on Amazon. Was skeptical at first, thinking they wouldn’t be great quality. Once they arrived, my 12 year old and I put them both together fairly easily and went right outside to try them out. We’ve had them about 3 weeks and the kids and I have rode them every day. They are really comfortable, have a smooth ride and they look awesome! I loved the black handlebars and white rimmed tires. The colors are bold, bright and perfect for the beach or any flat area to ride (since they don’t have gears). We purchased them for our beach house and can’t wait to get them down there to use this summer! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a nice leisurely bike. We’ve been very happy with them.

This bike was a surprise gift from my husband. He had no issues putting it together which only took about 45 minutes at the most. This is the perfect bike for me. The seat is comfy and the "old fashioned" coaster brakes are awesome. He even picked the prettiest color - seafoam green. I will enjoy cruising alongside the bay and the river with this beautiful bike.

This is a great bike that was easy to put together. It came with instructions but I didn't notice those until after I finished. It came with tools but I did end up using my own socket wrenches to make it a little quicker and easier. I love the mint color. It's bright and refreshing. I've gotta run to the store to now buy a tire pump because although they came inflated, one of them won't quite hold me. It's such a great bike for the price and I'm really happy with the style and the way the handle bars come back towards you which helps keep your back straight. The packing that was surrounding the bike was very thoughtful and easy to remove. They kept the paint truly protected and yet made it a breeze to remove. You will need to clip a few zip ties but other than that it can be pulled away from the frame with ease. I am a little concerned with the closeness of the front tire to the pedals. I just rode the bike in my home and my foot caught on the tire anytime the wheel moved slightly. That's really odd to me. I'm gonna check out other reviews to see if that's a common comment. I look forward to cruising around my neighborhood!

UPDATE: I'm going to keep this at 4/5 stars because even though I fixed the seat swivel problem (the post has to be fully to the end of the seat bracket, right below the "v"), the seat is now squeaking. I get that I'm a big girl (210 or so), but I wouldn't have thought after a couple of weeks it would squeak. I have taken it on several road tests and it rides easily, and it's really fun. I had a crappy bike I got rid of because it was so hard to ride, but this one is amazing. I'm only giving this four stars because I haven't given it a proper road test yet. But I received it today and assembled it right away. I had a tiny bit of trouble tightening the bolts (I have weakness in my hands, so to be expected), but otherwise okay. I'm a 45 year old woman, with a decent amount of mechanical knowledge, and it was a snap to put together. Instructions were easy to follow. It comes with all the tools you need. One issue is the leather on the handle is dented, which is annoying and not too pretty. The other is the seat slides back and forth. I greased it, tightened the bolts, etc. I might have to get a bike shop to help me tune it. It rides easy, and the lavender color is reminiscent of the bike I had when I was 10 (good ol' 1986). This is a good thing. I'll update this review when I take it on a more lengthy road test, not just to the end of my driveway and back.

The assembly for the bike is fairly easy, but I did struggle with the seat. I would suggest watching the assembly videos, I ended up doing that afterwards and realized my seat and handlebars needed to be readjusted. That could just be me being and idiot, though! I have not been on a bike in over 20 years, but decided to just go for it. I thought a 1-speed cruiser was the way to go. After a few trips around my block, I can say that the bike is great. I still need to gain confidence before I go any further, but the trips around the block have been very nice. I like the way my body sits on the bike upright, it feels natural. The seat seams very comfortable, as well, so I have no complaints with the bike at all. Not that it should be the most important thing, but to me it kind of is... the bike looks amazing. The design is so cute, and the colors are perfect. I think I made the right choice for my first bike in a few decades!

Daughter in law loved it

After my bike of 5 years suddenly broke, I began my search for a bicycle which was simple, comfortable and durable. Simple, meaning no gears to deal with or too many extra pieces/parts to be worry about. Comfortable, where I was sitting up, not leaning over when in motion, having a seat I did not need to upgrade and tall enough for my long legs to stretch out to pedal. Durable, for longer rides on flat, concrete surfaces. I reside in southwest florida and often ride on residential streets, bike trails and hard dirt trails (nothing off road). This bike has met my expectations. The price point was in my budget and the design met my goals. I like the fact it is a beach bike with a sit up straight posture and adjusts for my long legs. After purchasing, I had a question which was answered within 1 day from their support. Very pleased and look forward to many years of use. Installation Note - I had my local bike shop assemble this bike and they had no problems with assembly.

So far, I really like this company's attitude of cycling for all and their responsiveness on email. However, the reason I have had to contact them so much is that some parts were not included in the packaging, and I have had to email them over and over again with photos to show them what's wrong. The first time, they didn't believe me that parts were missing (certain nuts, bolts, etc. needed for securing the front wheel to the front fork), saying that sometimes they come already attached to the bike, so I had to look again and email them again, saying, no, really, I think I need the same thing for the other side, and it's not here. Then they had me fill out a form with order number, serial number, and so on. Good thing I kept the huge box it came in. I have a very limited amount of time to work on this bike, which varies a lot from week to week, so to say that having to stop for parts that weren't there was pretty annoying is an understatement. I get that this company is trying to make cycling affordable for people, and the bike parts are shipped from China whereas their HQ are in Los Angeles, but you'd think they'd try to make it easier for beginners like me to actually build the bike and not get discouraged, second guessing myself constantly whether the parts are really missing, or it's just me being a newbie. I was working on the bike again today, when, lo and behold, another part was wrong. There was a reflector, but it couldn't be attached. The attachment part looked nothing like what was in the assembly manual. It's like the folks in China couldn't find what they were looking for, so they just popped another reflector in there from a completely different product. No way to use it with the bike I am trying to put together. Again, another email to the company. I expect they will require me to fill out another form with the order number, serial number, etc. At least it didn't take long to get the part in the mail last time, but still. By the time it gets here, I will probably be really busy again and won't have time to work on the bike again for another few weeks. Another thing was that registering the bike was kind of a nightmare. Again, as someone who really doesn't have a lot of free time, it was sort of frustrating to have a QR code that went to a broken link, and have to email the company (yet again). They gave me the correct link, but then I had further questions about how to find the information I needed in order to register the bike, and the lady who wrote me back on email seemed to have old, outdated information about where to find certain things (serial number - thankfully I found it) and she had this idea that my Amazon invoice had the exact make and model of the bike - it didn't. So, lots and lots of emails back and forth, about something that really should have been a lot easier. Anyway, I am looking forward to someday finishing this bike that I ordered almost 2 months ago, and finally riding it... On the plus side, the folks working there are friendly. But it's a lot of work to put this bike together, and not because the assembly itself is hard. They really need to update their information, make sure customers are getting the right parts, making the whole process work more easily, with less unnecessary communication back and forth. I wouldn't be surprised if many people have just returned the darn thing rather than having to go through all of this. Edit 4/26/24: Don't buy from this company. They don't care if you can put the bike together or not, or even if they send you the right pieces. They will refuse to let you return it. I got scammed.

Hermosa bicicleta para andar por la ciudad. Vino en caja cerrada y fue facil de armar (segun mi marido ja ja). Viene con todas las herramientas y accesorios necesarios para ensamblarla. El color coral es precioso! Muy feliz con la compra! Hiper recomendable!

Just got this bike delivered today & was so excited to go riding with my boyfriend finally. We open the box to assemble the bike & there is literally NO TIRES??? Only Tubes. It is also missing the pink thing that goes at the back. Sending this back immediately but now is a huge hassle to try and fit In my car. Seriously disappointed for the price tag on this thing $$$$!

My wife was extremely happy with this bike. It was easy to put together. It had no brake lines or gear setup so that would have made it more complicated if I had to do all that. Seems to ride well. Wife likes how it rides and she looks good while doing it. So she's happy and I get to look at her so so am I. Shipping was surprisingly quick.

This is a terrific bike! Easy to assemble - especially with the online video walk through! Very comfortable to ride and super cute, too!! Wasn’t sure I’d like the colour as it looks very orange in some pictures but it is a nice salmon/coral colour!

It was very easy to assemble, and all tools are included. It's so pretty too! I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can ride everywhere now.
