I am wondering if anyone has any experience with a Schwinn Point Beach Cruiser bike, (or something similar), that I saw at Wal Mart?
I currently have an old mountain bike, and it's about worn out. My back doesn't seem to like the mountain bike riding positions any more, so I am looking for something with an upright position that has more than 3 speeds.
Don't really want to spend a whole lot of money on it, as the bike will be exposed to the weather most of the time.

Does anyone use a bike rack on the back of their fifth wheel? We had a bike rack salesperson tell us the mfg of the particular rack we were looking at will not honor any warranty claims if the rack is carried on the back of a fifth wheel? Just wondering if anyone has heard the same?

We carry our bikes on a rack attached to the rear ladder of our 5th wheel. We have had no problems with this setup.
I'm not sure what you mean by warrenty problems?? I doubt there is any warrenty on our ladder, and we bought our mountain bikes at Target. I doubt the bikes have any warrenty, but who cares???
I have a pretty good padlock and cable arounf the bikes, carrier, and ladder.
The only thing I have worried about is if the whole combo fell off on the highway, and damaged some other vehicle. (I have many other things more important to worry about, than this!! )

Our bikes came from Good Will; total price for 2, $16 + tubes. Since we have a motor home, we put them on the back of the towd.

We have his and hers Point Beach bikes. They are great and very easy to ride. No problems with them at all. I definitely would recommend them.

Ken and Sarah,
We carry our bikes on a hitch we installed on top of our King Pin. It works well for us...but we have a long bed truck.

We bought a bike rack fron Thule(http://www.etrailer.com/p-TH990XT.html) that is heavy duty and is hitch mounted on the back of the 5th wheel. Our bikes are an important part of our life so we couldn't do without them. We like this hitch rack because we can move it to the truck when we are parked and take off for other trails to ride.
