Product Description

The Huffy Good Vibrations men's cruiser is made for folks who want to enjoy the ride as much as the destination. Reminiscent of the classic bikes of the 1950s, the single-speed cruiser is a retro beauty. The Good Vibrations bike features a maroon-colored cruiser frame with beefy 26-inch whitewall cruiser tires, long steel fenders, upswept handlebars, and an extra-wide, double-spring seat. This simple combination of big tires, upright riding position, and cantilevered frame has been the stock and trade of cruiser bikes since the days of poodle skirts and tail fins. Use the Good Vibrations bike to cruise the campus, meander around the campsite, or ride to the store to pick up a gallon of milk. The design concludes with old-fashioned rear coaster brakes (they're controlled through the foot pedals, in case you don't remember). The Huffy Good Vibrations men's cruiser is recommended for ages 12 to adult.

Huffy, which made its first bike--the Davis Sewing Machine bicycle--in 1892, is so confident in the Good Vibrations that it offers a manufacturer's lifetime warranty on its steel frame.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Cruiser, May 5, 2010

My 26" Huffy "Good Vibrations" bicycle is a very nice bike. It is wide enough to fit a large man. It looks large and heavy, but it really is light and rides very smooth. The wide tires allow easy ride on grass, sand, and dirt. I've really enjoyed my bicycle rides around town along with my wife and kids. I recommend this smooth ride.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect but not bad for the price, October 7, 2011

As the man says, you get what you pay for. That's what I got.

PROS:

It's inexpensive. I wasn't planning to ride a lot, or very vigorously, just wanted something for easy riding around the neighborhood, so I didn't want to spend a lot.

It assembles easily and was only missing a washer. I'd read the horror stories about online vs. local delivery, assembly difficulties, missing parts, etc., but went ahead and bought online anyway. Assembly was fairly easy, took about an hour, but everything fit fine although I had to fiddle with the fenders a bit to make sure they didn't rub. Metal on this bike is pretty lightweight, so there's a lot of flex in the fenders. As for parts, the only thing missing was a single washer that I was able to replace from my shop. And it wasn't a crucial piece, I could have assembled the bike without it if I had to.

CONS:

Cheapness shows in the seat, which isn't very comfortable. I've ordered a better seat through Amazon.

Cheapness also rears its head in the brakes, which work but are on the wimpy side. After one ride, I'm thinking about adding a front hand-brake so I can stop as quickly and as suddenly as I like (or need).

Fenders tricky to install without rubbing (see above). But again, I knew I wasn't buying a Mercedes.

Overall I'm happy.

This review is from: Huffy Mens Good Vibrations Bike, Maroon, 26-Inch (Sports)

I love the look of this bicycle. Received in good condition. Fairly Easy assembly. Seems to have solid construction. The seat doesn't seem to tighten as much as I would like but that could be an issue with the user instead of the actual bicycle construction. Rides smooth. This bike has wide handlebars which I couldn't tell by just looking at the picture. Overall, a good bike for the price. This bike is definitely worth the price.
