Greenline bikes have always been appreciated for their reasonable prices and solid construction, and more couples every year are discovering what fun they are. In recent years, bike riding has become a fiercely competitive activity, and in response, bikes have become increasingly complex. Instead of taking a nice, easy bike ride, people began pushing themselves to go farther and faster, taking some of the joy out of a once relaxing activity.
Beach cruiser bikes are meant for riding on relatively flat terrain at a nice, leisurely pace. You can certainly pedal faster and pick up some speed, but they're designed for relaxing while you pedal, taking in the scenery while you work those leg muscles. They're a perfect way for a couple to enjoy an afternoon out together. Bike around the park, through your city's downtown area or hit the bike trails to enjoy some time together at a less hurried pace.
But Greenline bikes feature a simpler, more straightforward bike design often referred to as a beach cruiser. These bikes are usually one-speed bikes with a basic, oversized frame. Instead of hand brakes, you just pedal backward slightly, like most people did on bikes from the 1950's. In fact, many Greenline bikes come in models and colors that hearken back to the era when bicycles were more for fun than competition. You'll find Greenline bikes in wonderful retro colors like baby blue and mint green that will lift your spirits even before you start to ride.
There are several companies that make beach cruiser bikes, but Greenline bikes are well known for their impressive selection of colors and models to suit every taste. They're extremely popular because of their reasonable price. Since beach cruisers don't have a complex braking system or multiple speeds, they can be sturdy and reliable for under $200. You can get his and hers Greenline bikes for less than $500 total and be out biking together in no time.
One of the reasons so many people like Greenline bikes is their attention to detail, particularly where comfort is concerned. The oversized frame takes some of the wobble out of riding and can support even the heaviest biker with ease. An ergonomic seat design is particularly well padded and shaped for comfort and a sure seat. Dual coil spring suspension under the seat absorbs shock so you can ride a longer distance without growing sore or tired.
Stylish details also make Greenline bikes real head turners. Whitewall tires, matching fenders and rims in lots of bright shades from pastel yellow to a bold peacock blue, and a color coordinated chain guard mean you and your special someone can mix or match your rides and look trendy and hip every time you go for a ride together. You can even get bike helmets and accessories to go with your Greenline bikes!
If you're planning on riding together a lot, be sure to get cup holders for your bike and a basket for at least one of your bikes. You'll be able to take a long, romantic bike ride to the park and even pack a picnic lunch. Riding your bikes together will give you the chance to talk more while getting some exercise. You can explore new areas of your town, take in a sunset or sunrise while riding and even race each other on short sprints through the park. Taking the leisurely route by bike gives you so many more opportunities to get to know each other than hopping in your car, cranking up the radio and getting to your destination without carrying on a conversation. You could even get a tandem bike if you like the idea of riding together and getting some envious looks. They're so much fun, and are unusual enough to get lots of comments. So spark a little romance in your relationship by hopping on a couple of old-fashioned Greenline bikes and get to know one another all over again.
