Scorcher Boys Schwinn Bike happy
AWESOME BIKE!!!!. We got this bike for our son’s 4th birthday. It is a little heavy, but not too bad. He got on Schwinn Scorcher Boys Bike as soon as we put it together (easy to assemble), and was peddaling up and down our street with no problems.
We got him the orange one with flames, and it looks REALLY COOL! All the boys in the neighborhood like it.
We looked at all our local department stores, and none of the bikes seemed very good. We took a chance ordering this one and are very pleased. I think for what it cost it’s a very good deal.
Review about 1300 Upright Stamina Magnetic Resistance Bike
Stamina 1300. Just the right size. Tension is hard to adjust. It fits my needs at the moment.
Happy on GMC Bike Mountain Dual-Suspension Topkick
Great bike, needs instructions….. First off, I ordered this bike from Amazon at $150 on March 5th and was told 4-6 week delivery at mid April being the estimated ship date. Luckily, I got GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike by March 20th, assembled it, and just took it out for a test ride. Overall I am very satisfied, it is a very solid bike worth every penny.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, shipping quality isn’t astounding, but it doesn’t seem like I have any damaged parts other than slight frame scratches.
Assembly is quite tedious and the only fault about this bike I could really come up with was the lack of instructions (besides the bike being a little bit heavy) but it isn’t hard to figure out. Only tools you need are hex wrenches and pliers. Mounting the front brake was confusing and tweaking it to align right was tricky, make sure you understand which way to mount and how to tweak before assembling the brake. Also, make sure you screw the pedals in completely. I failed to do so and the pedal snapped out of place while riding, although I was able to fix it.
The dual suspension is really nice to have as well as disk brakes (the main reason I opted for this model) and quick release tires/seat are nice. Seat is a little uncomfortable, shifting isn’t that smooth, but both do the job.
The rear suspension takes up space in the middle. I mounted a pump and lock on it but no room for water bottle. The kickstand is not your average flimsy stick, very sturdy. Handle bars aren’t the best but adequate. Be sure to tighten everything!
The bike was worth every penny at $150 (keep in mind that it came with a claimed 4-6 week wait), jumped to $260 as of today. I’d say if it dropped under $200, get it.
BRT Bike Safety LED Multi-Use Strap Planet Bicycle Light about
nice little addition to any bike rider. The Planet Bike BRT Strap Multi-Use LED Bicycle Safety Light is a nice little addition to any night bike rider. The Light itself seems rather weak as it isn’t particularly bright and I’d guess it’s only visible from about 300 (or less) yards or so. It is a light red, operates on what seems a watch battery.
Plastic hook doesn’t seem too strong. The reflectivity of the yellow part might be better, it claims to be visible from about 2000 feet but I have yet to test it with someone’s car Lights.
It won’t hurt to have this on a leg or arm as it is cheap to buy. Made in China. I went riding and it kept falling down my pants, so be sure to keep checking if its there over time. I use it on my right leg for side visibilty when cars approach the road. It’s good for that.

Don’t think about AL Schwinn Mens Ridge Bike Mountain
Twice as much bike for the money! No problems!. Maybe I got a good one, considering some of the other reviews, or maybe someone didn’t understand the instructions for the limited assembly and adjustments necessary for this bike. I purchased mine 07/15/05. From the day I received it, ahh the smell of new tires!!, I’ve been riding this bike through the woods on and off trails (even though this bike is not rated for off road!) and on pot-holed city streets, with no noticeable problems, except for a punctured tube. I’ve performed minor adjustments on cables which after a few days of riding is normal. I’ve been riding bikes for over 40 years, primarily on a Peugeot UO-8, which I still use after 33 years, but I wanted a bike that was more suitable to run off road and this Chinese Schwinn filled the bill at about half the price of a T*** 3700, which was my next choice if this Schwinn was a bummer. The only problem I had, but adjusted to, was the seat, and I really don’t know why, since the Peugeot that I’ve ridden forever, has a hard leather, non-padded/springed seat, and Schwinn Ridge AL Mens Mountain Bike has never worked me over! No other complaints from me, will forward some pix later. Well, I’ve got to get back to the trails!
See ya’
Read about Bike Option Diamondback BMX now
Don’t bother with other tricycles. We bought this for our daughter for her second birthday and Diamondback Option BMX Bike is awesome. The bike is really sturdy and has great construction. It is a little big for her, but she’ll grow into it. What decent bike fits a two year old perfectly anyway? It sits low to the ground so she never falls over on it. We’re sure she’ll be able to use it for a couple of years. Plus, it looks so cool — the hit of the playground.
