On my return to OC (and 20 degree sunny weather), my first priority was to get a Beach-Cruiser…. a one speed, and breaks when you paddle backwards – as old-school a bike as you can possibly get.
Now for those of you saying why not a “Racer or a Mountain Bike ??” .. well the point of a Cruiser is not to go any great distances … but rather casually ride down to the beach (I only live about 2km from all the action), end up in some random drinking establishment, spend a lazy Sunday afternoon there .. and at the end of the night, ride back in various stages of sobriety, hoping to make the trip back without doing too much injure from falling-off.
A Beach Cruiser is as OC as fake-boobs, clinically white perfect teeth (be it veneers), botox, lipo, and fake tans….. Being a guy … non of the previous apply to me (yet) .. so this is my way of saying … OC, here I am, one of your new residents…. (I guess a Porsche is next on the list?)

I have been told that during Summer (May - July), Newport Beach gets packed, and trying to drive down to the peninsular is nearly impossible (as is trying to find a car park) … so this is where the Cruiser comes in.
