Yup, that's a beach cruiser. Wide tires and very low gearing. Most don't have adjustable gears

I aim to remove the handlebars and drive train, and use stop sign support stock to bolt the two together side by side, 40 inches apart, to give me a decent loadbed.
(I'll be keeping the drive trains... when I get where I am going they will be key to a spare power source... pedal driven generator, anyone?)

Ah, up here, they're commonly used as snowbikes, for the nutjobs who like to ride all winter. some people use pop-rivets to stud the tires, and I've seen a few people with home made
tire chains.
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
Cat's are food... not friends!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Without the drivetrains... you gonna push it by hand?
What would happen if you kept one bike intact to pedal, and made 2 foot outriggers on either side for gear? Think man-sized training wheels...
or even just one side?? Think an outrigger on a canoe...

Yes, by hand. I'm not nearly enough of a decent mechanic to do aught else. Already rummaged the variants you mentioned through, and came up dry.

Sniper from a history standpoint a beach cruiser is a bike you can run into a curb while drunk and not damage it. They generally are not pretty and the nice thing is no one would want to been seen on it so they do not get stolen.
On a side note they have a new and improved version which in all seriousness allows you to ride it in sand or snow. These bikes have lard balloon tires. I do not know how well they work but I do know they cost a bunch.

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
My bet with Ballon tires is that they would perform very well.
Just got in from mulching berry plants, cutting back all our tropical plants and mulching. Also just brought in 30lbs of green and almost ripe maters of all types. Gonna have a 32* night tonight. Wish I had 2 more weeks of warm weather, we were doing great on maters.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Would these work?

Wrap the tomatos in newspaper and keep them boxed Ina dark area. They'll still ripen over time.
