When I started shopping for bicycle shorts a few weeks ago I was shocked at how ridiculously expensive they are, so I was relieved to find these for about half the price of most of the ones out there. The quality is good and I’m happy with the fit and comfort (my backside definitely feels substantially better than when I rode without padded shorts). However, compared to many other shorts I’ve looked at, the padding in these is about average thickness. For the casual bicyclist that may not be a big deal, but I ride every day, so I’ll most likely be buying shorts with thicker padding the next time I shop for them, even if it means spending some extra money. But overall I am happy with these shorts and I recommend them.
MEN s Pro Bike
Ordered Wii to exercise, we ar nearly 80. We got FIT games, enjoy bowling, golf, baseball. Thought it would include exercise series used by our daughter, but find we have to have balance board; unable to find balance board for purchase. Expensive, think the descriptions of games, accessories on AMAZON should be more complete. Find Wii still not completely available in stores. Would not buy again for our ages!
Planet Bike Hardcore Recumbant
I did a lot of research and decided the Hoover F5914-900 was the best option for the price. It replaced a Bissell
that was just OK. It lasted for over 5 years, but never got the carpet quite clean enough. The Hoover does a much
better job, especially with the spinning brushes. The only negative is that the attachment for cleaning upholstery
is cumbersome to keep on the machine and I simply store this in the closet. Overall, great machine!
Race Face Blossom Bike
Having used several “inexpensive” pedometers over the past two years, which I discovered were quite inaccurate, the HJ-112 is extremely accurate; keeps data for 7 days; and, is multi-function (steps, miles, KCal, etc.). Only drawback, is it’s size e.g. not inconspicuous if you wear it on the hip.
Planet Bike Air Kiss
What does it mean to be a “catcher in the rye”? For 16-year-old Holden Caulfield, it means catching kids who are running through a rye field before they fall over a cliff at the end of the field. But Holden himself needs to be caught. He swears a lot and smokes too much, while falling more deeply into isolation and depression after his brother’s death. Unable to stand the “phonies” in his prep school, he flunks out and leaves in the middle of the night. After two cold and lonely days in New York City, Holden allows himself to be caught by an unlikely person whose childish innocence gives him hope.

Love the Wii too bad Star Wars Force Unleashed was over in few days Star Wars: The Force Unleashedthe game is way too easy. Alright back to getting Wii fit!
Sombrio Pinner Mountain Bike
I love this scale! It is accurate, easy to read and a beautiful design. The only problem was turning it on with the “tap in the center” as instructed. My thanks to reviewer Elizabeth whose tip made a difference. It does turn on when I tip it up a little with my toe. But it also turns on with a light tap on the near edge. No more repeated, frustrated taps.
BIKE RACK RR TOPEAK | thaipsy
Are you kidding?. I’m not sure whose payroll these other reviewers are on, or maybe they’ve just ever used an exercise bike post-1975, but this thing is a piece of garbage. I own a NordicTrack ProRider, and wanted to try this because Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike had a physical flywheel vs. the magnetic one in the Nordi. Well, first off, this doesn’t feel any more like a real bike, so right away I lost on the deal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not recommending the Nordi either, but this thing does make it look like a Rolls Royce.
When I took the Schwinn out of the package, it actually looked pretty high quality. The packaging was nice, the steps seemed simple and the first 5 minutes seemed like heaven. I actually thought to myself, wow, I’m gonna write a GREAT review on this thing if it works half as good as it looks. Wrong. Within 10 minutes of reading the mind-numbingly stupid instructions, my girlfriend was trying to talk me out of throwing it in the ocean. There are no explanations, very few exploded diagrams, and each drawing seemed to be done from 20 feet away – not even using the full micro-sized page on the booklet they provided.
I read the other reviewer’s comments about bumping his knees and I thought he must be doing something wrong. Nope. Unless you’re an elf, forget this piece of junk. You will hit your knees if you even come close to a workout.
The display also attracted me to this bike. Nah ah. Crap too. Hope you want to ride it in a dark room for the rest of your life, otherwise you’ll be guessing as to your workout.
Don’t get me started on the seat. I hope Tony Atlas is your neighbor. If not good luck locking this puppy down.
The description says something about a magazine rack. Where? Where would it go? I have a magazine rack for it – they’re called my hands. The display sticks out so far, good luck even trying to put an aftermarket rack on here.
Overall, the idea and features of this bike sound great, and the pieces seem to be quality, but this is a very, very poorly executed design and you’ll be miserable if you’ve ever used a real exercise bike before.
Sorry Schwinn, that’s the last thing I buy from you. Oh, BTW, this POS is actually made by Nautilus. I don’t know who to blame, so I won’t be buying either of their products anymore.
Great Bang for the Buck. My old Cannondale finally gave out. The Topkick looked like the ticket, so I gave GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike a try. GREAT BANG FOR THE BUCK!!! At $150.00 and free shipping, how could you beat this deal. Dual suspension, disc breaks and tough aluminum frame make this one a steal.
PROs: What I said above, including; cool color/style and easy assembly (even though there were no assembly instructions).
CONs: Center frame shock takes up valuable space on the frame for accessories. The paint finish is easily scratched off. The disc breaks take a large amount of tweaking to get set properly. The handlebars are too low (no easy way to raise). This is one heavy bike.
Overall, like I said before. Great Bang For The Buck!!
Nice Style for a Child; Manual Stinks!. My son (11 years old) LOVES this bike. I like the style but the manual sucks! It is not written in a manner that makes Mongoose Gavel Boys Freestyle Bike clear which model it is referring to when detailing the various setups. I had a hard time figuring out the correct configuration for increasing the tension for the rear brakes….. my son eventually wrapped the line and used one of my hair bands to hold it to the handlebars to decrease the slack allowing enough tension for the rear brake to pull! I refuse to take this bike to the shop to pay upward of $100 for a $120 bike!
