I have one of these badboys:

It's a WalMart special, but it's great for my purposes. A surf accident when I was 21 messed my back up, so I chose to get a cruiser because it allows me to sit in a more upright position than a roadie or a mountain bike. I ride 4-5 days a week on mostly level ground at the beach. I do have a few small hills to and from, but the seven speed really comes in handy for that. Plus it's nice to have hand brakes. Most cruisers only have the foot break and one speed.
Also, parts are super cheap for cruisers. I've upgraded the handlebars and pedals. New seat is up next.
