Hmmm. I would actually say depending on the style of cruiser they are harder. Ive been riding since I was 17 and I learned on a crotch rocket although it had lost alot of its rocketyness, more like a crotch cruiser. But ya Im getting a bike asap after my car dies. Fucking gas is getting out of control too.
Here we got somke stupid rule that you've got to have ridden a scooter for a few years to be able to progress to a low-power bike, then that for moreyears till you can ride a more powerful bike and so on...it's stupid...and then we've got a test for automatic cras...and one for manuals...not as stupid but very time consuming...
