What's everyone doing this weekend?

A cruiser is a type of bike. You can google beach cruiser...electra is one name I know of that makes them, but there are tons out there.
I wouldn't spent a ton of money on a cruiser. If you get into biking, you'll want something else later anyway, but for getting started, especially if you are large, nothing beats a cruiser. You sit down low you can put your feet down while still on the seat, and you lean back a bit when you ride, great for people with larger bellies.
I still use my cruiser to walk the dogs-because I want something very stable under me when I've got critters zipping around. I have a thing called a walky dog that attaches to the seat post, I put a dog in the harness and off we go. (My dogs are little so we don't go very far, but I can easily ride a couple of miles working out my two "big" dogs).
