Old fashion woman bike for my wife

Looking for an “old fashion woman bike” for my wife. She has a 21 speed I bought her a while back but she seems to be happy with the single speed coaster brake model she grew up with.

Looking for the relatively light models…not the hulking steel...and not expensive. No cover when raining and she will join me on a morning beach ride :)

Wal-Mart has lots choices but I thought I would tap into the RV.net resource.

    About 40 years ago I bought my wife a 5 speed bike Schwinn that I thought she could handle, she rode it about 100 yards, and refused to ride it again. Recently, I broke down and got her a Wal-Mart light weight cruiser, and she loves it. Rides it all around when we are camping.

    My DW got one at Wal-Mart. She loves it.
    They also have them in aluminium, or at least did.
    If you can't find a decent used bike, check Wally World again.

    I've gotten some great bikes from our local thrift store for $25 or less. They need a little service, but for the price, can't be beat. And no one wants to steal 'em either!
