Schwinn Cream 2
A step-through steel frame with an integrated rack makes this women’s Schwinn bike a good around-town cruiser. Its big seat and relaxed handlebars are comfortable, though the seven-speed bike is not lacking in speed.
It can haul a trailer or hold a bike seat on back. Equipped with a basket or panniers it’s been a slick grocery-getter in our test this spring. $490, www.schwinnbikes.com
