Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (very comfortable seat) 『This seat is worth it - very comfortable. I could not go too far with the previous seat that came with the bicycle. I've used this one when bicycling upto 40 miles, and it is comfortable throughout the ride.』
(Good saddle but could be better) 『This saddle has a great shape and feels fine for a few miles, but it soon becomes apparent that it could use softer padding. Also, the suspension springs are uncoated and squeak and groan as you pedal. I am of average weight so I know I am not overloading it. I removed the springs and reinstalled them using nylon washers under the nuts. This helped some with the noise. I like a good wide seat and this one fills the bill in that regard, but it needs reengineering to be the best.』
(Very Comfortable) 『It really disperses your weight. It made my shorts ride up so I just wear spandex or foam shorts and everything is fine. VERY VERY COMFORTABLE!!!!』
(its OK but...) 『I'm a guy who put this on my exercise bike. the hollow in the middle does not go forward far enough and was uncomfortable. i lowered the seat and it was better but my knees are now too bent compared to my normal biking position.』
(Good) 『This is my third try to find a comfortable seat and this is the most comfortable yet.』 『Tired of riding your bicycle on a uncomfortable hard skinny seat? You're problems are over. This seat is 10.5" long by 10.5" wide!. You won't find a more comfortable seat for under $50. Its like riding on a cloud. This seat has an easy universal installation with any standard seat post. This saddle is built by Cloud 9, so you know you are getting an incredibly designed comfort seat.』 『Bike riding is a great form of exercise, but bicycle seats are notorious for making you uncomfortable. Enter the Cloud 9 suspension cruiser saddle, which is designed to cushion your rear as you ride. The Cloud 9 saddle measures a generous 10-1/2 inches long by 10-1/2 inches wide, with an anatomic relief design and a dual-density gel foam padding helping add to the comfort. The seat's chrome coil spring suspension on the underside, meanwhile, helps smooth out the bigger thumps and bumps. And thanks to the universal design, the saddle installs easily on any standard seat post. You won't find a more comfortable bicycle seat anywhere.

(Does the job.) 『Cheap, not fancy, but does the job. Sometimes the little rubber "on" button loses register with its corresponding hole in the strap, and you have to go fish for it. And I doubt it's very water resistant. Otherwise, I like it.』
(Excellent Product: LED light strap) 『I like this product so much that I think I'm going to by another one. The strap is comfortable, it stays tight the whole time and the light comes with it is bright and visible. I like the fact that with one leg motion I can have this thing in the Solid light pattern. Typically i see that the solid pattern is the last one to choose. I recommend this to anybody who is looking for something more then a reflective leg strap or arm band.』
(Works really well) 『Works pretty well and is convenient.The blinking lights are visible from a good distance!.The light tends to slip thru the covers when you are not wearing it, thats the only con I can think about.』
(These are a great little addition to your night riding arsenal) 『I often use illuminte leg warmers that are highly reflective(not sold on Amazon that I know of.) But as we head into warm summer nights I use these straps more often instead. They don't seem like much but the constant movement of your your leg lets drivers know that you are there.
Also, I've seen on rare occsasion police officers give tickets to people who don't have a reflector on their pedals. Reflectors on pedals often times fall off and are hard to replace. Sometimes the only way to replace them is to buy a whole new pedal. This is a good alternative. An officer would probably not ticket you if you were missing your pedal reflector but had this on your foot instead.
I don't know if they reflect as far as the ads say, but i've had someone view mine and could see them at least a few hundred feet away.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Brightness for the value) 『I purchased this light because I wanted something really bright. The xeon bulb sounded good. I live in a very rural area, i.e. we have no street lights, all rough dirt roads. This light has 4 modes. Bright xeon, dim xeon, constant LED and blinking LED. Even on my pitch black dirt roads the LED mode is almost always bright enough to traverse any potholes and other rough spots. As long as I first go down the road in the daytime or with the bright xeon mode first to make sure there is nothing major I have no trouble riding with the LED.
The tail-light assembly is flimsy and will fall apart if left by itself. I took a piece of electrical tape and wrapped it around the frame of the light, problem solved and it looks perfectly natural. The headlight is less flimsy but kind of rattles on the dirt road. The base is extremely tight, so tight that I put it on and left it there. It is supposed to be able to take it off the mounting point but I find it so hard to unclip it is not worth the trouble. If I need to I will take along a mini-mag light.』
(Broke after one ride) 『Perhaps the build quality on these lights is spotty, and that accounts for the wide range of opinions on it. Mine broke after I got back from the first ride. The front light part of it became loose, and fell, and it does not work any more. I would not buy this item. In the time it did work, I thought the beam of light was much too diffuse. I have previously owned a cateye light, and it was much more sturdy and had a better beam of light.』
(Not Very Durable) 『I've had a couple of Bell light sets. Neither were very durable. The rear reflector easily came off of its clip. I had a hard time getting the front light to stay lit. If you look inside the units you will see that they are not very well constructed.』
(If you are not a gear geek, this will do the job.) 『I have a philosophy about my new commuting experience that can be summed up as visibility trumps cool. If you are rich or if you are seriously touring at night (I guess folks do that) go drop a couple of hundred on a fancy light. Essentially, this will do. The Bell light makes light and flashes. I am more concerned with people seeing me at dusk or dawn than I am lighting up the road. It is fairly cheap construction, but it shouldn't take a lot of pounding riding back and forth to work. The light is inexpensive and it works. If you are concerned with batteries and the environment, buy a generator light... or at least rechargeable batteries for this one.』
(Very Nice Light) 『I have had this light for about two years now I have had no bad luck with mine at all. I wonder about the other people here.I know some people you just can't make happy at all no matter what you try.I have seen this to many times.I think Bell products are good.Far as rain getting in my light that want happen I have a clear bag for days I think it might rain.I keep a few on hand at all times.Never know what the weather will bring our way when out riding.I have three lights on my bike.Having a light on a bicycle is a must have for me.I ride to work on my bicycle and I never know what time I might get off from work.I also have a small engine on my bike too.I don't our car much any more I have more fun riding to work and going shopping on my bicycle.Yes I do have large Baskets on it too.Now go out and start having fun ride that bicycle again.』 『The headlight features "Take Me Home" battery saving technology and a high powered Xenon bulb with super bright twin LEDs. Large side portals provide 1980-Degree of visibility. The Multi-Use safety light is brighter with five larger red LEDs and six flash modes』 『The Night Trail Bicycle Light Set from Bell includes a headlight with "Take Me Home" battery saver technology and a tail light (with a belt clip for portable use).

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Who really cares about the stickers?) 『Sure the stickers fall off...so let your kid cover it with other stickers. They don't care what it looks like! My son LOVES this tractor and has decorated it in his own style. It's stable, it's sturdy, and it rolls easily over any surface (even carpet). I'm really glad we have this toy.』
(Worth the money) 『We picked one of these up at the county fair for our 19 month old daughter. It was inexpensive and exactly what we were looking for--no batteries required, and therefore, no obnoxious noise. She loves the roll around on the hardwood floors inside and I can see her negotiating space and corners, which is great for spatial learning. It's compact and fits nicely in the toy corner. My daughter is tall for her age (80th percentile), but she fits on the tractor with no problems. We've only had it a few days, but I don't have any concerns about craftmanship at this point. It's a cheap toy and I don't expect it to be a family heirloom; if it lasts a couple years, I'll feel like I got my money's worth, even if the stickers do fall off, as so many others have mentioned.』
(don't buy...not worth it...junk!) 『We just purchased this for my 21-month old son. He is small for his age, and this tractor is so tiny that it's frustrating for him to use it (but the deceiving picture shows a decent-size child). He is a twin and he and his sister have two other ride-on toys that they've been using since they started walking (and before) and he still races around on them with no problem. He's infatuated with tractors at the moment and that is the only reason I thought of buying this one. When he uses it, his feet hit the back wheels when he's pushing off, and its shape is so weird that it's hard for him to pick it up under his feet while standing over it to move/turn it. It's very cheap and flimsy looking. We are so disappointed and it if wasn't such a pain to send it back, I would have already. Don't bother spending your $$ on it - it's not worth it!!!』
(Poor durability/construction!) 『This was fun while it lasted...which was not very long.
My son received this as a Christmas gift, it was used inside lightly until about a month ago, when it has been used outside a few times a week, but gently. It has already fallen apart and most of the stickers have come off. I'm going to follow another reviewers advice and try gorilla glue.
My son is an only child, so no older heavier kids beating this up and he is pretty gentle on it...so the only conclusion I can come to is that its just poorly made. Its sad because it is a nice size/design for good riding...but don't buy if you are wanting something to pass down between kids.』
(john deere tractor) 『bought this item for my 1 yr old grandson. he loves the steering wheel. it is very easy for him to get on&off&he can walk it all over. he is learning to step backward&forward with it.』 『This rugged plastic tractor with authentic John Deere styling is perfect for your little farmer on the go.

The lock fits around my mountain bike wheel, which is good since I was concerned the size was too small but it fits just right when locked around a bike post or fence, definitely not a pole though. The wire came thicker than I expected and is a nice extra deterrent, although I hardly use it because of the hassle and because I keep telling myself that no one is going to steal my front tire from my beat bike :). Overall, I recommend this if you're looking for a reliable lock with some extra deterrents, this is it.』
(Lives up to its name) 『Solid little lock that would have lasted me a lifetime had I not left it in a cab one drunken night. The U-Lock fits in a back pocket, and I've never had trouble fitting it around frame, wheel, and pole. (It just barely fits fatter sign-poles, but it will-- if your frame is up against the pole.) Retails for $45 or so, so any price below that is a GREAT deal, especially with the extra cable. Give the U-Lock a squirt of WD40 every so often to quench its thirst.』
(Don't Buy This) 『I bought this item for my freshmen year at college. It broke in about a month. The key got jammed TWICE! The first time I was able to dislodge it, and just had to use a new key, but the second time I wasn't able to get it out, and a maintenance crew member ended up breaking my key in half! This product is cheap. Pass it up.』
(Bad thing.) 『I bought it because it was prime delievery. Everything as previous bad revies happened - my key broken and lock dead on bench. NEVER AGAIN!』
(Amazing lock, size is a bit snug...) 『This lock is excellent in all ways, except for one, it is a bit too mini for me. Now, I saw the description and dimensions before I bought it, so I had an idea of how small it was. I just got a bike with a larger frame, so locking the bike up with this lock is a bit harder. If i would have known this, I would have bought the larger model.
That being said. It is the best lock I have ever owned. It is sturdy as hell and has even been left in the rain, and the keys still turn perfectly (it comes with about 5 spare keys). The bike attachment is kinda flimsy, but it does the job. Oh and the included security cable helps take care of those times when I cannot get the U-lock to lock normally around my bike frame. One more thing to note, the lock is not extremely heavy, so you can put it in a backpack easily.
If you have a roadbike or other small framed bike, this lock is perfect for you.』 『Double Team pack including the Bulldog Mini TC plus a 4' x 10mm non-coiled Akita cable. U-lock is 3.5" x 5.5".』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A "To Be Seen" light, not so much a "To See" light) 『Bike lights generally fall in to two categories: "to see" or "to be seen". This light does illuminate a bit in front of you but not enough to go fast in the dark without worrying about hitting something. The light is surprisingly small (about the size of two fingers).
The switch is very well designed in that you hit it once and the light turns on solid, hit it again and the light blinks, hit it a third time and the light goes back to solid. This is nice if your ride takes you alternately through well lit high-traffic areas (blinking mode) and dark low-traffic areas. To turn the light off you hold the switch down for a couple of seconds. This way you never accidentally turn the light off when changing modes.
Light is not very water-proof. I left the light on when I washed my bike and the insides were soaked. Worked just fine after it dried.
Mount could be studier...but it is OK.』
(Wife loves it) 『I bought this light for my wife, to replace a POS Bell xenon light. I was shocked at how small it was, but it really throws the light out there! the light can be steady on, and also will flash if you so desire. installation is a snap with no tools required. 』
(Bright light, convenient to attach/detach.) 『I use it almost every day riding bicycle to/from downtown Chicago. It still runs on original batteries and produces bright flashes - which I think necessary to be noticed by drivers and pedestrians (I use it any time, day or night). Takes a second to attach/detach it to the handle. 』
(Why you should buy two) 『If you live in one of America's large cities, where Reagan-era cuts in mental health care sent hoards of people unable to care for themselves to live on our streets, you will be unable to leave this product on your unattended bicycle. Those who live on park benches, in cardboard boxes and under bridges will find your Cateye a great accessory to urban homelessness. Sooner or later, you will bike to your favorite hangout, and in a rush to see your friends inside, you will forget to remove and pocket your cateye, and when you return, your Cateye will be gone. Therefore, you will need to buy two. The good news is that it's a fine product. But please, write your lawmakers and demand a sane public policy regarding the dumping of the mentally ill on our nation's downtowns. Reopening of public mental health institutions would be a great start.』
(Good price for entry level LED light) 『The Cat Eye HL-EL135 is a good basic bicycle LED light for the price. The body and design of the light is cool, it looks great. The flashing function works well for riding at night and I use it the most. However, I found the steady function to be only marginally adequate for my needs, not bright enough for my taste. I will buy another Cat Eye Halogen light to go with it. Otherwise, I am happy with this light for most daily commutes.』 『320 hours flashing mode. 80 hours constant mode. Runs on 2 AA batteries.

Would NOT recommend for too young (6 yr?) or too old (break bones when you fall) or someone who is not in really good shape. I have seen some kids try it and get very frustrated with the task of combining so many motions at once.
WOULD recommend for skate boarder, inline skater or other activity like that.』
