For an equal amount of effort from the same rider, a mountainbike ought to be faster. It's likely to be lighter, offer a better riding position and multiple gears will allow the rider to ride more efficiently.

∙ 14y agoIt's really much more down to how you ride it than which type of bike it is. Slowly pootling around on a MTB won't give any more exercise than slowly pootling around on a cruiser. If you're serious about getting some exercise I'd recommend a MTB. Odds are far better that you'll be able to find an efficient riding position on a MTB than on a cruiser. If you don't know how, go by a bicycle store and have them set the bike up for your size so that you get a decent riding position. Don't forget that eventually it'll be your commitment that'll make the difference. If you don't do the riding and push yourself a bit while doing it it doesn'y matter which bike you're using.

This really depends on the type of cruiser, how old it is, and what kind of condition it is in. A used beach cruiser will usually sell for $50 - $100. Now, if you have a vintage cruiser or an old Schwinn some can sell for as much as a few thousand dollars. If you have something you think could be worth money I would find the serial number off the bottom of the bike and contact the manufacturer for more information.
