However, I will reiterate that this bike was hard to put together. There were a number of screws missing, and you have go out and buy a sized wrench that most people don’t have…(it’s funny I bought a $35 dollar bike lock and they provided all the necessary tools in the shipping)

The other huge problem was that the brakes were misaligned. And the front tire kept hititng the front brake making Pacific Shorewood Womens Cruiser Bike impossible to ride. It took my boyfriend and his friend about two hours to fix this problem. An expert could have done it faster but lets face it if you have a lot of money to pay a bike shop you wouldn’t be buying this bike.

Also, this bike is longer than a regular bike…which can be a problem if you have any storage space issues.

Very happy with this bike!. First of all, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this bike arrived. It was supposed to get here on a Tuesday, and actually arrived on the previous Saturday. The box it arrived in was a little worse for wear, with some gouges and tears that went through to the inner box. Nothing was damaged, really, but some parts of the bike did sustain some scratches, which was kind of a bummer.

The bike itself, though, is great. After reading reviews of people who had difficulty assembling the bike, I decided to have my local bike shop do it for me. It cost some money, but the bike was inexpensive, so I was fine with that. I rode the bike home from the shop afterwards (over a mile) and I’m so happy with it! Not having ridden a bike in years, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this bike is great. The seat is cushy, and the angle of the handlebars is perfect – I was able to sit up straight and comfortably, with no stress on my back. The gears shift smoothly, although the “twist shift” is taking some getting used to.

The bike overall is surprisingly good, especially given the low price. It feels nice and solid, it’s very comfortable, and it looks great! Amazon needs to work on their packaging to avoid cosmetic damage to the bike, but all in all, I’m super happy with this purchase, and the bike itself!

Bend tire frame due to shipment (I assume). Got all parts of the bike when shipped; took about 45 minutes to put it together. The frame of the tire was bend, wheel wobbled, and the uneven part of the wheel thrusted against the brakes. Took it to a bike shop to fix that and put some air in the tires for $13. Over all a cool bike if you like the retro look, I also bought a basket and a traditional bell for the front; drove it for about 4.5 hours today, so far so good!
