Your beach cruisers can be carried on the Thule Passage part # TH910XT if you also use a bike frame adapter bar like part # UB01 since your bikes don't have horizontal top tubes. This adapter spans distance between seat post and steering stem to provide a horizontal attachment point that is needed.
