Being a tourist from Germany, one of my first actions in Southern California was fulfilling a long-dreamed dream: purchasing a lovely beach cruiser. Those bikes are rare and hard to get in Germany, so my intention was to buy it and take it home with me as a souvenir.
After looking around for a while at numerous bicycle stores, I finally found a Kustom Kruiser brand bike with a unique, artsy, graffiti-style paint design. In addition, it was pink, my favorite color.

There are three comfort zones or places your body touches a bicycle. As long as you can bear the weight of your body okay between those three places without numbness, pain or pinching then you can ride all day long.
Today we will be touching upon the saddle. This is also the hardest thing to explain or go super indepth about in only one article. Think of this as the first of many thoughts on saddles or reviews. Please read through and email about specific questions you have about saddles to continue the discussion.

With multi-speed Beach Cruiser, I can go to Los Angeles to San Francisco? If not, why not? I do not want a mountain bike or something like that. And if so, any advice or info? I intend to take it slow because it's my first time.

Theoretically, you can do ... but you'd be crazy to. As others have noted, it is a heavy bike and not well suited to the hills very difficult, you have along the coastal road, especially in the area of Big Sur.
Also, there are stretches of road where there are no hotels / motels / Facilities for 40 miles and more. On a beach cruiser on such land, 40-50 miles is hard. Without good pedal / cycling shoes, it's even harder. Where will you sleep at night? You can make your camping gear, but it requires on your bike racks, bags for gear, etc.
In addition, the clothing into a problem.THE nice and warm. "Frisco is not. In fact, the morning the central California coast can be decidedly cold and wet even in August. Where are you going to bring your warm clothes? Where will you put them when the day warms up?
I did not trip a few years ago (in the opposite direction). The coastal route is considerably longer than the I-5 is about 420 miles. We went further south, and it took us a week, but we were in great shape and riding touring bikes with minimum gear. We camped grudgingly, otherwise hit hotels. It was fast and a blast, but not child's play.
However, you might gonzo. Use a backpack, a sleeping bag at low prices, as these bags cover exaggerated children use to sleepovers, and water-proof tracksuit to wear over your shorts and shirt, wear it in the morning, stuff in the backpack in the afternoon. Go to AAA if you belong, or simply google-maps a route to the coast. Plan on 40 days mile / legs, sleeping in cheap motels or park benches, go to the upper crust in Santa Cruz where they have their all-you-can eat pasta night, we have done and the son - de-guns we actually cut off for eating too.
Wow Do not be dropping, but you obviously have no idea of San Francisco.
It takes 6-8 hours by car. Not that its impossible because there * * professional bike rides that lasted for hundreds of miles (Amgen California and the AIDS Cycle for example) - but these walks are conducted by professional fitness walks in the top and certainly not on beach cruisers either.
I suggest you rethink again and cycling route and go by bike real, not just around the block. Try for 25 miles first and work yourself up.
Good luck!
