Gift idea: Huffy Venice fun bicycle
Posted on December 9, 2006
Comfort and fun bikes come in a variety of designs. A recumbent cruiser bike like the Huffy Venice has a relaxed seating position that feels and handles a lot differently than a standard upright bicycle. While some recumbent fun bikes feature upright lounge-style seats, the Huffy Venice offers a standard saddle coupled with an additional back pad for greater support. Like most fun bikes, the Venice is not designed for speed but is more suited to short, scenic rides where the riding position allows you to enjoy the view. Those who are overweight or suffer from back problems will appreciate the back support although with the pedals situated further in front of you than a standard bike, riding this fun bike will utilize the gluteal and hamstring muscles more. The well-padded seat on this model provides a comfortable ride and the brakes are sharp and responsive. Components such as the Falcon 6 speed derailleur are not of the highest quality but that is to be expected on a fun bike in this price range.
