The JOYSTAR Beachside is a single speed cruiser bike with no cables hanging off the bike or complicated gear systems. This kids bike is a no frills cruiser bicycle that does as advertised. It makes bike rides fun, relaxing and comfortable. The ride is smooth and effortless, the wide tires and spring saddle make the ride soft and comfortable. The brake system is a coaster brake, which means the rider pedals backwards to stop, just like the original beach cruisers.
