Cruiser skateboards are popular among people who want a convenient and fun mode of transportation for short distances. They are suitable for cruising on sidewalks, bike lanes, boardwalks, or any smooth surface. 

Cruiser skateboards often have softer and larger wheels, allowing them to roll smoothly over rough surfaces, cracks, and pebbles. The wheels provide a smoother ride and better grip, making them suitable for commuting and cruising around town.
