# Lounge Seat Cruiser Bikes The Coastcycles 'Ruckus' Bicycle Features Bench-Style Seating By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cruiser-bikes References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/ruckus-bike-features-lounge-seat-design/) & [coastcycles](https://coastcycles.com/) Cruiser bikes are a great way to take in the scenery of a city at one's leisure, and the Coastcycles 'Ruckus' looks to make the experience even more laid-back. The seat design on the Coastcycles 'Ruckus' bicycle is designed to be significantly longer than traditional ones and even a bit wider. This makes it seem more like a bench than a bike seat, which in turn creates a more laid-back, comfortable experience for riders. Featuring a low to the ground design, the Coastcycles 'Ruckus' cruise bikes are the ultimate form of transportation to sightsee or simply hit the boardwalk.
