The Electra Cruiser 7D Bike is the Gift That Got Us Riding Together

What do you get for your husband who is an avid fisherman, tennis player, and outdoorsperson who tends to pick out things for himself and always says he doesn’t need anything? Well, one year, mine asked for a gel bike seat. He had a road bike and a mountain bike, but neither was really ideal or comfortable enough for those around-town rides like I took on my beach cruiser. He thought a more comfortable saddle was the answer. I went to a few stores to look for one but didn’t see anything that felt quite right. Everything seemed like a quick fix and not the real solution.
As I thought about it more, the answer was obvious. Get him a full beach cruiser like mine. I went to the bike shop in town, picked out an Electra in a bronze/metallic brown (perfect since it’s one of our alma mater’s school colors!), put a bow on it, and had it delivered that day.

The price was right at about $550 — a statement gift that I knew he would enjoy all year long and beyond. I hid the cruiser in the garage until the right moment. Not only was Sean surprised, but he was thrilled that I bought him something that he never would have thought to do for himself.
Since he’s had the bike, we have ventured out all around our town and the surrounding areas, sometimes setting out with the intention of going for a quick ride but staying out for hours. It is a timeless gift that brings us both joy — the opportunity to spend time together and, even better, to be outdoors.
