Looking for a bike for my 68 year old mom

[mjkacmom]

She lives near a bike path, and my kids all have bikes at her house, so she wants one for herself. She wants a simple bike with brakes and no gears - like a beach cruiser. Any suggested brands? I'd like to get her one for her birthday next month.

My mom is 72 and she bought a fold up one that she can take with her easily. It has foot brakes which wasn't so easy to find these days. I'd probably head to your nearlest biking store and ask their advice. Make sure it fits her and all that good stuff.

I have this and I highly recommend it! Solid, stable, comfortable, easy to get on and off, and allows you to sit normally instead of 'hunched' over the steering wheel. I love it!

my parents winter in florida and they all have 3 wheel bikes. It is a hoot, but safe and mom loves putting the laundry in the basket and heading to the laundry area
