Peg Perego John Deere Loader Top Quality


Our 3 year old son likes the toy but is still learning to peddle.

Assembly took about 45 minutes and then came the stickers. I now agree with another reviewer, put on the stickers before assy.Get more detail about Peg Perego John Deere Loader.

Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts This instant


The 1/2 watt LED isn't going to light up the whole night, but I guess that's what the pricier models are for. The Planet Bike website has a great page that illustrates the brightness of all their different bike lights, so check that out if you are unsure. For the price this is a great light. Installation was quick and shipping was super fast!Get more detail about Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts.

Kryptonite Kryptolok Combo Standard Bicycle U-Lock Immediately


I paid less than $[...] for this lock on sale and for that kind of money a Kryptonite lock is a great deal. That said, this lock has a couple of shortcomings in my estimation that have to do with the combination wheels. First off, they are generally difficult to turn. They just do not have sufficient knurling to facilitate good thumb/finger traction. Second, the combination wheels are chromed and the indented numbers are filled with black paint. This makes the numbers almost impossible to read under the glare of a street light due to the reflectivity of the chromed surface. Other than those two complaints, I am very happy with this lock, it's solid, compact and yet large enough (barely) to allow me to secure the frame and front wheel to every rack I have encountered without removal of the wheel. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LPHO2Q/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_titleGet more detail about Kryptonite Kryptolok Combo Standard Bicycle U-Lock.

Avenir Tightrope Cables (6mm / 6 feet) Best Quality


I clipped the ties with scissors and pinned the cables down with a few locks. While they aren't the sturdiest cables in the world, they will surely slow down any would-be thief! I really can't emphasize just how quickly/easily I was able to use the item, and how quickly it got to me on standard shipping.Get more detail about Avenir Tightrope Cables (6mm / 6 feet).

Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard Get it now!


My two daughters (5 and 8) love to ride the Landshark. When asked if there was something my 8 year old didn't like about it, she replied "falling off" (doesn't happen often) - which means she loves to ride it fast and there isn't anything about IT that she doesn't like (can't blame her for not liking to meet asphalt up close). It's super fun - even for their 39.5 year old mom. Quite stable, easy to rid,e and very popular with the kids!Get more detail about Fuzion LandShark 4-Wheel Kneeboard.

POSITIV Skateboards "Carlos De Andrade Crop Circle" Assembly Birch Buy Now


I did a lot of research into getting a beginner board. A lot of people point to getting one already put together instead of buying different parts to assemble yourself because it's cost effective and it lets you get a taste of boarding before shelling out your wallet. After attempting to get a cost estimate of a custom board (which went well over $100), I decided an already made one would be better.

After much research I chose this board for the following reasons:

1. The board length matched my height. I was a little afraid it would be a bit longer than I wanted, but when I tried it, it was a good length. (I'm 5 ft 5 in, btw). My friend who is 5 ft 1 in can also use my board, although it's a bit long for her. Unfortunately, you won't find pre-made boards shorter than this. I looked high and low.

2. The wheels match what I want to do - small hard wheels for riding street.

3. The design is phenomenal. One of the nicest boards out there unless you want skulls or cartoons on it.

After riding this board a few times, I am very happy with it. It is truly a quality skateboard.Get more detail about POSITIV Skateboards "Carlos De Andrade Crop Circle" Assembly Birch.
