Cruisers are great for around the neighborhood or at the beach. And like a heavyweight fighter who had just won the world champion belt after 15 rounds, the Huffster immediately retired for the night. It was a particular relief to make it out of the Poudre Canyon shortly after the last remnants of daylight disappeared.
Wearing glowsticks on the huffy trail runner neck and wrists and reflective orange bands on the calves, I set out onto dark roads illuminated only by the super-bright headlight of the cruiser. One great thing about setting out at this cricket-chirping hour was that there were very few cars on the road. Beyond serving as a practical mode of transportation, Arianna has given me plenty of good times riding along the Pacific Ocean on the famous strand that stretches from Malibu to Manhattan Beach. Now she takes me on long rides along the Roaring Fork River on the Rio Grande Trail. I was forced to buy Arianna after a homeless person stole my other Huffy (it’s customary in Santa Monica to blame virtually everything on the homeless). But I went to a few bike shops and all the cruisers cost between $300 and $1,000.
Huffy cruisers are packed with comfort features to keep you going. Chains come in one length and are shortened to the appropriate length for the bike by removing links and joining the ends. A special tool is needed to push out a pin to shorten the chain. The chain is joined by either using the same tool to push in a special pin, or by using a special split link – which is generally easier to do.
During this era BMX racing was still regarded exclusively as a kid’s sport and at best a training ground and stepping stone to racing standard Motorcycle Motocross when they reached adulthood. Of course as part of the first generation Stu Thomsen would remain one of the oldest riders throughout his career. These persistent rumors—at times aided by his own statements—would regularly crop up as people wondered what is the outer age limit of a competitive racer in this new sport. I’ve experienced this before, a result of over-inflating the Huffy’s tires. The rims on this bike were not exactly machined to military precision and don’t seem to “grab” onto the tires’ wire beads very securely. If the tire pressure is too high, the tires unseat from the wheels, allowing the tube to escape and pop like a balloon.
Wildfire evacuation times for Aspen are estimated to be at 17 hours, according to City Councilperson John Doyle. Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to. She has been left for days in the rain, sleet and snow in both California and Aspen. She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars.
You can bet I was most relieved to see the sign below—definitely the climax of the entire ride. Little did they know that my bike was taken off the showroom floor next to the infant section at a toy store. Experience the enchantment of New York City’s holiday markets online, all year.
