Priority Coast
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

16 reasons to buy

- This carbon belt drive does not require lubrication and won’t mark clothing.
- Additionally, the carbon belt drive operates quietly and smoothly.
- Sealed cartridge bearings protect many moving parts from sand and salt.
- Spokes and some bolts are also made of stainless steel, in order to resist rust.
- The 26lb weight of this aluminum lightweight puts bulky steel cruisers to shame.

Bottom line
Most so-called ‘beach cruisers’ are not actually designed to tolerate the demanding conditions of coastal use. Because of Priority’s close attention to rust-resistance, this bike is popular with those living the seaside or island life. An aluminum frame and rims keep the Coast light and less prone to rust. A carbon belt drive does away with rusty chains and the need for lubrication. One surfer said their bike was in good condition after three years of riding it to the beach, three times a week. A custom-built surfboard rack is available for the Coast, at extra cost. Buyers should note that the seat-clamp, as well as some screws and bolts, are subject to rust. Another deterrent was the Coast’s price, which is higher than that of many budget, big-box ‘beach’ bunkies. In reality, the Coast will last a lot longer, with less maintenance, than most of those rickety rigs.Expert Reviews
