The Schwinn Midmoor will make family bike rides possible!
We’ve had a lot of fun exploring new activities as a family now that the kids are getting a bit older. The Schwinn Midmoor is the perfect bike for Mr. Martin- it’s a hybrid bike, great for riding on trails or streets. It’s also a great bike to tow the kids in…although I think if you ask Mr. Martin he’d say it’s great to tow ONE child in. He was a little overzealous on the first outing with the bike trailer…and very sore the next day.
The instructions were great- although confusing because they include instructions for several different bikes, but once you are able to match the instructions with the bike you have in hand, easy to follow. I would love to show you images of the assembly but this arrived when I was in Florida and you’d think my family forgot what it is like to have a blogger in the house. No assembly photos, sorry. The only assembly-type photo you have is the box. Sigh.
- Aluminum hybrid frame with Suntour suspension fork for a smooth ride. Update 4/24/18- still a nice smooth ride. Many miles of use and as smooth as day one!
- Shimano 21-speed drivetrain provides plenty of gears and reliable shifting
- Schwinn Quality saddle for a soft and comfortable ride
Smooth ride- especially key when we start doing longer trips with the kids. We don’t need to be uncomfortable- that makes for cranky parents. Mr. M said that the brakes work really well, and smoothly. He’s HUGE into safety and was very, very happy to report this.
Comfortable seat, easy to grip handlebars with plenty of cushioning to for your grip
Easy to change gears- no worries about gears slipping or locking up.
What do we love about this bike? Everything. From the chocolate brown metallic finish on the frame to the leather seat, the Shimano gears, the super comfortable handlebar grips- this bike is full of luxury details at a reasonable price point. We feel confident every time we head out for a ride that this bike will be around for a long, long time. Schwinn is known for quality and comfort- both things we’ve appreciated already (or rather, I have tried to. I’m not tall enough to reach the pedals on this!!)
What do we not love? Um, nothing. Not a thing. The Schwinn Midmoor is affordable, looks great and handles really well. Retail is about $250-300.
This bike handles on-and-off-road with equal finesse. The light frame and great suspension work together with that gorgeous leather seat to provide a smooth, comfortable ride for the rider. It looks good, handles great, and is definitely worth a look.
Now I need a pretty new bike to match my husband’s, don’t you think?
We received this bike sample to facilitate our review. Opinions are our own.

Reminds me of taking my kids for a bike ride one time when my son was a toddler. He pooped and it got all over the baby seat. Big, nasty mess! Thanks for the memory! LOL!

Dream Bikes is a non profit in a couple areas that is a good place to buy bikes from

Vincent de Paul sometimes has some really great used bikes at a reasonable price.
Jennifer Mirock says
I grew up with a schwinn and loved it! I’ll agree with the reader above, Mr. B does look quite manly on that thing. I may have to get one for my hubby!
amy says
That looks awesome! I need a new bike… mine is about 10 yrs old…and i dont know if its even riding right anymore.
Nicole B says
What a cool bike! I’ve always wanted a girly Schwinn. 🙂
Nichol says
Schwinn is a wonderful brand! The bike looks like it has some awesome features! I do agree, you need one to match:)
Mimi says
That is SUCH a nice bike. My boys and I are ready to start getting on the trails, but I need a bike and my boys could use new ones. Theirs are…old.
Emily says
That is one cozy looking bike. I have been dying to get my own bike because I have never really had one. How sad is that?! Hubby has a road bike, but it terrifies me because it has pocket things for your toes to go in. I rode it once in college, and fell 3 times in the short distance between my apartment and his. Pathetic yes? lol
Jill B says
Mr B looks sporty! I love the details in the seat and the handlebars. This is perfectly timed because I just got myself a new vintage Schwinn (cruiser) this weekend. I love it! People know the Schwinn name because its quality is beyond and has been for a very long time. Good to see that even the new bikes are just as awesome as ever! How do you like your sweet ride Mr B?
Jill B says
Mr B looks sporty on the Schwinn! I love the seat and handlebar details! This is perfectly timed as I just got myself a new vintage Schwinn this past weekend. When people think of bike brands, they think of Schwinn because the quality is beyond.
JulieK says
YAY! What a great bike – it looks sooo sleek! I love the seat… and that Mr. Bargains tows the kids. LOL for some reason when we got bikes last year I had hubby put the tow part on MY bike. What was I thinking!? 🙂 Oh that I need to be permanently attached to my child! LOL… Great review!!
Skye Moyer says
Oh wow- that is nice.
How much does it cost?
Tiffany M says
I love this Bike !
Brandy says
OH my gosh, I love this! I have been thinking that it would have been cool to have a ride like this for when my kids were younger! Maybe I would have learned to get out and bike more! Great review
Jenilee says
I bought a (cheap) bike last year- and I hate it! I’ll have to check out some better quality bikes like this because it was such a waste of money since I don’t use it! I would love to take some of my kids on bike rides!
Meagan P - Sunshine and Sippy Cups says
OhmyHECK – I love the idea of bringing Abby in a little carrier behind me! How fun would that be? Thanks for giving me an amazing new idea for this summer 🙂
Angela says
I haven’t been on a bicycle in years. Sounds like it would be the perfect exercise for Summer. I may need to get a bike now!
Stefani says
I LOVE Schwinn bikes. I learned how to ride a bike when I was about 7 or 8 on a yellow Schwinn with a banana seat. They have so much cuter bikes now.
MonkeyThreads says
Schwinns are such good bikes. As a parent I love hybrid bikes….great for cruising around with the kids but can still be rugged.
queenb says
that’s why we went with this bike!
Leandrea says
I definitely think a pink matching bike is in order for you! This sounds like something on my husband’s wish list! Thanks for sharing.
queenb says

Have Sippy Will Travel Mommy Blogger says

Whitney Jordan says
I was just thinking that I wanted to get a bike…well actually one for me and one for hubby! The weather is starting to get perfect for riding and I’d love for us to ride more. Definitely going to show this review to him – thanks!
Crystal says
I love that bike. We just bought some, but they weren’t Schwinn’s…
