A friend, Jack Lyness, recently asked what he should get for starting to exercise after a period of sedentary decline. At 300 pounds or more, he had no need for a lightweight. Living in a fundamentally flat area, he had no need for a multitude of gears.
I was lucky to be able to provide him with an aluminum frame, aluminum rim coaster brake cruiser.
While there is nothing new, high-tech or sexy about this bike, it is what Jack needs right now. It will get him moving without doing further damage to his hips and knees, and moving is healthy.
But the best thing. It will be fun.
