Everyone loves this game from young children to older adults. Its a great group activity that lasts and lasts.
Gore Bike Wear Race

I bought this used book for my son, it is in good condition. I am satisfied with the service as well. So far it sounds like a a good book, I plan on buying the series for him…
Saddlemen SSR1900 Universal Bike

I once stupidly paid $80 for a Monster HDMI Cable. Save your money and buy this cable. It works just as well as my Monster cable.
Gore Bike Wear WS

I really wanted to like this unit, and was very excited to try it out, but it’s going back after two days.
I bought this as an upgrade/replacement for a heart rate monitor, because I train for triathlon and am running my first half marathon this spring. On my first run, it was very easy to set up, sync up, and find satellites, and it worked beautifully. Unfortunately, however, as it is winter and I also enjoy spinning classes and indoor interval work in my training, this unit is going back.
Though it has a heart rate monitor, this is only used for telling you a current heart rate. The GPS is necessary in order to calculate calories burned, despite having my age, heart rate, activity, weight, and gender, and so this does not function on indoor mode, or in a gym, or on a trainer or spin bike. As such, through an spin class and an hour of lifting weights, I burned no calories, but on the drive home, I quickly went through like 58.
It’s pretty useless for people who want to do anything other than walk, run, and bike outdoors in clear weather, away from buildings. If you are in that niche market, I imagine it’s great, but for me, it is already on its way back.
CatEye Velo 5 Bike

I bought this card because of the reviews and price, however, I’d been having a problem the last year with not being able to take consecutive pictures quickly. My camera will sometimes say “busy” for 1-3 seconds after I take a photo with flash. It is REALLY annoying. Especially, when I’m having to ask people to “wait a second” and hold the pose for another 2 seconds. It’s such an expensive camera, I couldn’t understand why. I also asked a ton of people, and they didn’t know.

I finally went to a camera class and asked the instructor at the break. He was surprised and thought it was my memory card. I needed a faster one. I just bought a sandisk extreme 3, and I will update after I use it. It wasn’t that much more but may save me a lot of annoyance.
Avenir Quick Bike Basket

This cable works well and costs much less than similar ones from Best Buy, so save your money.
Pedro s Bike Lust

I purchased the WII system with two goals, to get my wife and myself moving (using WII Fit and the balance board), and to try my hand at gaming again (after a multiple year layoff). I’m quite satisfied with the workouts offered by the WII FIT system, and it’s pretty easy for me to stay interested in daily excersize. My only complaint is that there is much more empahsis on snappy movement, as opposed to good form.
As for gaming, I purchased Call of Duty Reflex and the Zapper remote holder. As expected it took me a day or so to get up to speed with the aiming, movement, an such, but once I got the hang of it, it took me about 12 days of play (a couple of hrs at a time) to complete all missions in the game and open the Arcade Mode. I greatly enjoyed the game, with the only complaint being the graphics quality, (but I didn’t expect great graphics from the WII)
Overall I gave the system 4 stars.
Grip Hitch Mounted Bike

Good bike for the price. I like the way the bike handels in the trails, GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike was easy to put together however I was unable to tune the gear shifter 100% I’ll take it to bike shop to have it don right. I put the bike together in 35min. It is easy if you know what you are doing, but if not it might take little longer. Make sure to check all screws for tightness, some were loose. I do recommend this bike to others! lost of fun, especially when you customize. PS. I got the bike in two days! That was a big plus!

gets us to school. No complaints about this well-priced solid co-rider. My six year old doesn’t mind the 2 mile ride to school and mom gets some exercise! Seems just as solid as friend’s high priced model.
