What is it and what is it needed for?
For many bike cruiser is known as a pleasure. Its created the basis of the construction of motorcycles more than 100 years ago. Today, cyclerizers are among the most popular urban bikes. This type of transport serves for urban walks.
He prefers the contingent of people who are loving a measured comfortable ride around the city. In the entire history of its existence, cyclerizers were assistants and soldiers, and couriers, then taking their niche in the category of urban bikes. Now many Europeans go to such "iron beauties", even some Russians use them for a relaxing walk through the city.
Velocorizer will be an excellent alternative to walking through the park or the promenade.
History of appearance
Bicycle manufacturing company founded Ignac Schwin - German by origin, but who lived at that time in the United States. And in 1895 the first model of Velikrizer is coming out - Schwinn. By the time of the yield of the bike to the market founder, the company was no longer alive. In the days of the Great Depression in the United States (1933), the state was in a deep economic crisis, which was reflected in all spheres of people's lives.
During this period, absolutely new bicycle design is produced - Schwinn B-10E , radically different from its previous models not only with new accessories, but also the size of the tires and layout of the frame. The new bike "explodes" the velalaink that over time leads to the beginning of the release of a whole series of bicycles of this class.
Initially, the release of cyclooks was focused on the younger generation, but with increasing popularity, thanks to easy operation and good technical characteristics, the model begins to be in demand among the working population. For a long time, the bicycles of this company were associated with the Americans with championships of newspapers, as they often used them to work.
The peak of the popularity of these devices fell on the 1930-1940s, but after 20 years with the release of new more technological models, Schwinn bike demand begins to fall.
Constructive features
Referring to the technical features of cyclookrizers, we can say that this is a female bicycle option. They do not have such characteristics as sports models, but perfectly suitable for trips to parks, squares, urban streets. And thanks to the low-planted saddle on them, you can move even in the dress. A considerable advantage of such a bike transport is that The back when moving on it is practically not strained.
It should be mentioned about the variety of bikes of cruisers - Velikopper . Their name is associated with a distinctive form of frame and steering, which are characteristic of motorcycle-choppers. Externally, they resemble Stels Cruiser - Chopper, which was issued by the joint efforts of Russian and Chinese manufacturers. This cruiser has become a male option for walking models of bicycles.
Any type of bicycles has its own design features that are a distinctive feature of each. Such a number of characteristics is also cycles, which emphasize the uniqueness of this class.
- Design features of the frame. The unusual solution of the bike cruisers immediately attracted the attention of buyers. They have a lot of similar in appearance with a motorcycle - the elongated frame, a low comfortable seat, highly located steering wheel, wide wheels. In combination, all these elements create an image of a comfortable transport for movement around the city. And also on the cruises there is no depreciation on the front fork. From the shortcomings you can still note the weight of the product. The creators do not yet think about making frames from lighter material - carbon, plus separate parts of Cruiser class models are quite massive, if compared with similar in sports bikes.
- Constructive transmissions. For a long time (up to the end of the 20th century), only one speed mode was provided on cycle cells, and with a closed system and chain. This allowed not to smear clothes and shoes. With the growth of the production of planetary sleeves, everything changed. Today in stores you can see many models involving the possibility of switching multiple speed modes. However, innovations did not increase the volume of sales of cyclars. It is associated with a high price of products with a planetary sleeve, as well as with its weight, which has become even more.

- Installing two trunk (in front and rear);
- special chain coating and clutch system cover;
- Wings as a necessary component of additional protection;
- The presence of a stand for the phone or navigator is an innovation associated with the growing popularity of the use of gadgets.
