Looking for a cruiser with gears.
My Scwinn cruiser single speed was stolen. 
I miss it. I'm looking for a new one, but with gears. 3 or more. Any advice on a good one with fenders and a rear rack?

This is my steel Electra 7D Its my 3rd Electra and Ive been pretty happy with it. My wife has a Huffy Panama jack Cruiser (though I've seen them with gears) the build quality is higher. After the fenders and rack are added its more expensive but I think a much nicer bike

I'm happy with my Bikes Direct 3-speed cruiser. Electras and other higher end manufacturers have better bikes IMO, but I've upgraded and it weighs 25 pounds.

This one's a tank , even the the tires add four or five pounds to it . But that just makes it ride smoother . I’m no lightweight either , so a few more pounds doesn’t matter on a cruiser .
They’re not made for racing

i got it used, so i'm not sure if they're still made, but maybe a huffy regatta. kind of like a huffy panama jack with the rack as part of the frame, but a coaster brake three speed.

Considering a Sun Cruz. Anyone have opinions on those?
Either that or I go for a pre1992 Schwinn three speed cruiser if I can find one.
