When you were a kid, you had a bike. As you got older, maybe you got a 10-speed or a mountain bike or a BMX bike. You found the niche — and bike — that fit what you wanted to do.
As an adult, it's more of the same, but with even more choices as you. But sometimes you just want a bike. The Fuji Cape May ($300) fits the bill, a throwback one-speed with coaster brakes and big tires that will get you around town without any fuss.
As the name suggests, it's technically a beach cruiser, a perfect option to get you back and forth from the shore or the boardwalk. A big cushy seat makes it comfortable to ride, even in a bathing suit. The aluminum frame holds up to the salty sea air, and the swept-back, foam-covered handlebars keep you in an upright position where it's easy to hold a conversation with another cyclist.

But even if you're nowhere near a large body of water, the Cape May is a functional bike to run errands, ride with your kids or take a leisurely trip to dinner. There aren't many parts to break or maintain. It's a bike. You don't have to think about it.
