Disney Bike Princess and you
Perfect Gift. The bike was a gift for my 2 year old daughter. She’s been peddling for 6 months now and she has been begging for a bike like this. She is so happy to be riding. Fairly easy to put together. The only complaint I have is the box Disney Princess Bike was delivered in was pink and purple and it told anyone who saw it what it was. I found it on my porch I’m sure hours after it was delivered. And this was a from Santa gift. It took a lot of effort to get it into the house and in hiding without either of my kids finding out. Other than the packaging Great Buy!
Read about Mens Schwinn Road Prelude Bike now
Very good for the price. Please note that my 5-star rating is based on value.
History: I have been riding a Road Master mountain bike for the past several years just following my children in the neighborhood. I have registered to ride BP MS 150 (from Houston to Austin) in April 2009. I took my bike to training rides and noticed that I was going slower than other riders even though my cadence is same as that of theirs. Further observation revealed that the front gear on my bike was much smaller than the road bikes other people are riding. It was clear that I need a new bike even though the existing bike is still functional.
Research: I spent a lot of time looking for a bike. Local bike shops don’t carry any road bikes that cost less than 600 USD. Then I found this bike and ordered it. I didn’t want to invest a lot of money on a bike as I plan to reduce my riding frequency and duration after my MS 150 ride. I can alway upgrade (if necessary) if I change my mind and continue to bike long distances.
The bike:
I just want to confirm other reviews that the bike came mostly assembled. Instruction manual is mostly useless. The manual is a generic road bike manual – not Prelude manual. I had trouble assembling the front calipers (brake). I had to remove Schwinn Prelude Mens Road Bike afterwards because I figured I should have put white reflector between the calipers and the frame. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to raise the handle bar.
Other reviewer is correct. Their help desk is very quick and responsive. Turns out the handle bar can not be raised.
Bike weighs only 25 lb (my road bike weighs 40 lb). Gears shift fine. Overall the bike is good.
Don’t consider this bike if you are shorter than 5′ 9″.
Pedals are clip and strap type pedals. I am not used to these, so I have replaced them with plain pedals (from the mountain bike) for now.
Spokes are stainless steel and rims are made from alloy metal. Apparently rust-proof.
Problems with the bike (as you can see, they are all minor):
1) There is no room to place the red rear reflector after I assembled the under-the-seat bag. I have fitted the reflector on the rear fork with additional padding.
2) There is absolutely no room on the handle bar for the trip computer. I have currently put it on the handle bar rod; I have to read it sideways!
3) Rear wheel arrived slightly bent. Hopefully I can fix that by adjusting the spokes.
4) I wish the bike came with water bottle cage. Frame has holes and screws for a cage that you can buy.
5) Rear break wire runs along the side of the frame bar. I suspect it causes problems when putting the bike on a carrier.
Overall, I am very pleased with the bike considering the price I paid.
Update 3/3/’09:
I have ridden this bike for more than 110 miles so far. I have replaced the seat (saddle) as the supplied one is hard and doesn’t have anatomic recess. I am yet to find any significant problem. Still happy with the product.
Update 4/27/2009:
Over 500 miles on this bike so far. Still in great condition. I have had 3 flats on the rear wheel. Two are inexplicable (2 – 3 millimeter holes on the rim side), and one was due to a thorn. Biggest problem I have observed is that the lowest gear (highest mechanical advantage) is not low enough to climb steep hills. I am talking about hills where people with expensive bikes are also struggling to climb. I just have to get down from the bike and walk up. This bike has only two gears in the front. A 3rd smaller one would have been very helpful.
Update 12/02/2009:
I have begun inflating the tubes to less than the pressure suggested on the tires. Not a single flat in more than 6 months! I am still using the same bike and I am still very happy with it. Also, see the comments section for suggestions related to flats.
Oh, BTW, I have registered to ride BP MS 150 in 2010 and I going to use this bike again
Mad about Bike Road Denali GMC
good bike for the price. When i saw the bike online i could not believe the price. I had been doing some research and found this to be the cheapest bike on the market.
It got to my house on time, I was able to track the bike online. once I had it, I sent GMC Denali Road Bike to a bike shop because i don’t have the tools. The next day i took it for a ride and found out that the breaks work but not very well, and the changes make a lot of nose. The location of the breaks and the changes are in a weard position.
The bike so far has been working very good and for a 8 mile comute to my job it has been working fine.
I would say it a great bike to know if want to get searious in biking because buying a $800 it is not a deal if you will use it onle a couple of times every year.
Do you really love Boys Bike Strike Mongoose BMX ?
Packaging terrible, bike decent.. I read the other reviews before buying, so I was aware of the packaging complaints. But, like others who wrote, my son really wanted THIS bike, and I needed to have Mongoose Strike Boys BMX Bike quickly for his birthday in January. I’ve had good experience with Amazon before, and so I took the risk. I mean, what were the chances of it happening to me too?
Quite high as it turns out. The bike arrive on time in a box that was virtually destroyed. Both sides had been punched through and repaired with yards of clear packing tape somewhere along the way. Some small parts inside the box may have been lost. We haven’t tried to assemble the bike yet, so I don’t know if we have everything we need. The frame and wheels look undamaged so we may be OK.
The large panels on the box need to be reinforced or padded so that the frame of the bike doesn’t punch through during loading, transport and storage. I have never in my life had any item arrive with packing in that condition. It was almost comical – except that it was a $100+ dollar item that is difficult to return.
So buyer beware. Until the packaging problem is addressed, you’re really rolling the dice on what condition the bike will be in upon arrival.
Wanna (16-Inch Cars Bike Boys Disney Wheels)
DOES NOT BALANCE ITSELF. The bike does not stay level when you pull Disney Cars Boys Bike (16-Inch Wheels) up or down, a little awkward.
Bike Schwinn Volare Mens Bar Flat 700C Road no mad
Excellent bike for the price. I read many reviews about this bike and other bikes. For the price, one couldn’t go wrong. From ordering to assembling the bike, I haven’t had a complaint. I did however, have a missing seat quick release, and when I contacted the CSR, she was most helpful and even got a laugh when I told her the seat wouldn’t stay in place. I have since received the missing part, and am able to ride without the threat of getting literally turned around. With that said, I do have two issues with the bike. First, as previously stated in several reviews, the seat is not comfortable. GET A GEL SEAT, or at least a cover. It is a very nice looking seat, but after the first week of riding 8 miles round trip to work, I was saddle sore. Secondly, the shifting is only so-so. I have had at least two times where the chain wouldn’t go into the gear, and I had to flip gears around. This is a light weight, very smooth bike. I look forward to many more rides on the Volare.
Where to get 12-Inch Cars BMX Boys Bike by Huffy
Cars boys BMX bike. It is a nice bike. Pretty and firmly. But Cars 12-Inch Boys BMX Bike by Huffy is a little bit hard to drive.
Does Boys Bike Mountain Pacific Evolution really work?
Excellent bike, easy to assemble. The bike was delivered within a week even with free shipping. The package was slightly damaged, but no damage or missing parts inside. We were a little concerned about assembling ourselves based on some of the review comments, but the bike is delivered only partially disassembled. The only parts we had to assemble were the handle bar, the front wheel, two pedals, and the seat. If you have the right tools, the assembly is straight forward. My son loves the bike, especially because he wanted one with gears.
Electric Rocket Bike Motocross Razor Dirt MX350 answer
BEST TOY EVER!!!!!. I got this bike for my son for his 5th birthday and he absolutely loves it. It fits him perfectly and he is an average size for his age. He and his sister who is 6 and fairly tall for her age ride Razor MX350 Dirt Rocket Electric Motocross Bike every day for hours. She is a lil tall for it but not to much. Our neighbor has the same one and they race all the time. It is an awesome toy for kids and parents who want their kids to have one that is a lil safer than a gas powered one. I will def. save it for my baby who is now 18mos. and loves his brother and sister to take him for rides. I def. recommend this to everyone and it is very easy to put it together. I put it together without my husband in 15-20min. It charges faster than the directions say and lasts longer than they say it should. We love it!
