Do beach cruisers come with fenders?
This is because our beach cruisers are designed for casual riding on boardwalks, walking paths, and other mellow surfaces, as opposed to urban commutes in varied conditions. Fenders add weight, bulk, and cost to a bicycle, so for a basic beach cruiser, we don’t use them.
If you’re looking for a bicycle with fenders to protect you from water spray, mud, and other debris, try our city bike collection. Almost all of these bikes come equipped with sturdy front and rear fenders.

In tight living situations, like a small apartment or dorm, you can always find room for Judd Folding Bike.

If storing your bike outside, even for short periods of time, be sure to secure it with a bike lock.

What are the best bicycles for seniors with easy step-through frames?
Beach cruisers are one of the most popular bicycle styles for older adults, and it's easy to see why. With a relaxed upright riding position, wide cushioned tires, swept-back handlebars, and plush saddles, they're designed for comfort right out of the box. Add a step-through frame and getting on and off becomes completely effortless. The Chatham Step-Through Single Speed Beach Cruiser is a simple, low-maintenance option with a coaster brake and wide tires that smooth out any bumps in your path. If you want a little more versatility for rolling terrain, the Chatham Step-Through 7-Speed Beach Cruiser adds a Shimano drivetrain while keeping that same easy-access frame. For a lighter, rust-resistant upgrade that's great for coastal living, the Chatham Plus Aluminum Step-Through 7-Speed brings a lightweight aluminum build and extra-wide BigWave tires to the mix. Want to go even further with less effort? The Chatham Rev 3 Step-Through Electric Beach Cruiser adds pedal assist and throttle so every ride feels as easy as you want it to be.

Want a little more gear range without overcomplicating the ride? The Chatham Step-Through 3-Speed adds just enough versatility to handle mild hills with ease, and the Chatham Step-Through 7-Speed opens things up further for riders who want more control on varied terrain. For the most effortless ride in the collection, the Chatham Rev 3 Step-Through Electric Beach Cruiser lets you dial in exactly how much you pedal, making every ride feel exactly as easy as you want.
