Hello from Gary, Indiana!
Hello everyone. I am a coaster brake bike enthusiast. My daily rider is a “little 500” bike I put together from a few different Schwinns. I have a ‘67 Schwinn Twinn and my wife has a 2007 Schwinn Alloy Cruiser.

Welcome. Coaster brake enthusiasts are not as well represented here at BikeForums. So, we are going to need pictures. Our Cruiser forum has been slow lately and many cruisers now sport mulit-speeds. Leave some comments and post your bikes. Start a thread if you feel like you are not finding a fit. There is also a tandem forum. Wait,.... you have a Schwinn Twinn with Coaster brakes? Is that right? So when you want to stop, you both have to back pedal? That is teamwork.
Since you mention that you had a Schwinn Twinn that was yours, are you riding it by yourself and using it like a XtraCycle type cargo bike? I thought that might be a quick and less expensive way to make a cargo bike. If so, we need pictures. There is a cargo bike forum. If not, pictures are still good. You can post the pictures to your personal information in, I believe albums. Others can see them there or even copy the picture and insert it into a thread. You will need 10 posts to insert a picture. It is to keep scammers from posting. Commment about a few things of interest here and then post a picture of your bikes.
