Not that drinking and driving is encouraged. And making use of the cup holder on your bike. It's based on athleticism and speed, which is more than kind of antithetical to the cruiser bike culture. I don't particularly care for the road bike culture. I have a road bike, but i don't ride it very often. There is a culture around these bikes that is based on the idea that we're saving elements of our history. I like old things and this fits in with my interests. I like the cruiser mentality about bikes. Looking for a Schwinn head-badge that is age appropriate, and I'm done. I've thought about fenders, but kind of like the stripped down, rat-rod look. Some paperboys rode them, but there were so many other choices of fancier and lighter bikes at the time, that it was a rarer occurrence. These Heavy Duti cruisers, built by Schwinn in the 60s and 70s (as near as I can tell,) were used mostly in factories and oil fields to haul parts around, say from one end of a factory to another. But it weighs a ton, and frankly with those fat tires, it ought to be smooth Besides an extensive clean up, lube, and tune-up, there are new pedals, a new Schwinn seat and seat post, sparkle grips, 'dice' tire valve covers, a mini-license plate, and a rear hub-shiner with red reflector. I bought the frame (and some tires,) at a garage sale and have restored it to what is called 'Period Appropriate' for the genre. About 90% finished, for the time being anyhow, this is my 1967 Schwinn Heavy Duti cruiser bike.
