Schwinn Southport Women’s Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Reviews
For $150 plus free shipping, you can’t go wrong with this bike. What a deal! I love it, it’s a really great bike. I would have given it 5 stars, except it does have a few (minor) bad points:
1) The seat is HARD and I found that the forward edges cut into the backs of my thighs. I had to replace the seat with an ergonomically designed-for-women seat.
2) I’m not a big girl (5’5″), but I felt like the seat was too close to the handlebars. I had a hell of a time adjusting it. I finally solved the problem by reversing the socket under the seat.
3) It was VERY hard to fit a rack on the back. I bought one of those “universal” racks, and I really had to fiddle with it to make it fit, including going to the hardware store and buying new bolts. The little holes on the bike where you are supposed to attach the supports for the rack are bigger than the standard bolts that come with a rack. Very inconvenient.
4) The paint was dinged up on the frame.
All in all, tho, I really like the bike and would recommend it to anyone who wants a cheap, sturdy ride.
This bike is perfect for someone re-entering the bicycle world. The handle bars are comfortable and you are able to sit up straight. The gears shift with a slight turn of the right hand. The bicycle, however arrived with a large scratch and no seat. I had to purchase a cruiser seat at my local bike shop, which Amazon gladly refunded the cost. If you want a bike to cruise around your neighborhood, this is it!
