Im new to the bike world so this is the first cleaner I tried, but I loved it. Sprayed on and the dirt and grime just fell off. I could not believe how easy it was to clean. Plus it has a nice orange smell too.

Great spray cleaner that does not require any soap or water. Just spray on any or all of your chain drive components (chain, derailleurs, rings) and watch all the road grime just melt away. It's amazing to watch how fast and easy it is to use. Very similar to using a spray brake cleaner. I use it around 50 to 100 mile rides and just oil my group with Pro Link Pro One oil. After around 200 or more miles I use the Park Tool CG-2 Chain Gang Cleaning System.

This moving part cleaner may be less 'natural' or 'organic' than citris oil products, but it works, and it works well. And as a result, well, it just doesn't take as much of the product. As an aside, regardless of how natural the cleaning product, you wash metal particulates off. I'm confident that this is in no way less 'toxic' to our planit than the others. I say use it.

I've been riding for a long time and i dont keep my bike as clean as i'm suppose to. I used half a can of this on my bike and shifting was soooo SMOOTH. I would recommend using this to clean all your bikes.

This bike trainer is well made and has proved very worthwhile attached to my older mountain bike. When the instruction manual states that a knobby tire is not recommended it is not kidding. I didn't have a smooth tire initially and the noise and vibration was horrible. Using a cheap smooth tire made a huge difference and now the trainer is nice and quiet. I take off 1 star because of the bar-mounted resistance adjustment lever. I could not get it to work; the instructions were useless. The gears on the bike provide all the resistance variance I need so the extra lever was a waste of money. Get the model without the remote lever and save about $10.

This is a pretty good trainer for the money it costs. It does make some noise, but its not unbearable: the TV is still audible.

It was somewhat difficult to set up: make sure your back tire is tight against the roller if it is slipping at all it will wear down in no time.

Even so, it does seem to wear down my back tire pretty fast, so I am thinking of getting a wheel with a Continental tire made for trainers.

I got the model with the remote, but have not really used it. The remote is hard to set up (both on the magnet and on the bike), and it keeps falling off.

I really like this trainer in terms of it's build quality, ease of assembly despite so-so instructions and slightly funky cable installation. I've been using it for about 2 hours a week for the past two months and none of the pieces seem to feel like they are going to wear any time soon. Along with a block for the front wheel it all feels totally stable and that I could use this for the next 3 years without having a problem. In terms of noise, I wear around-the-ear headphones which are semi-open (AKG 240s) and I can watch TV or listen to music without having to push the volume up to compensate.

Once assembled the adjustments are all pretty straight forward and your bike should fit easily. They thoughtfully include a replacement skewer in the box in case yours doesn't fit or you are afraid of scratching the finish on yours. There are also online videos which help assembling and mounting your bicycle for the first. Most of it is pretty intuitive, so even without reading the instructions very carefully I had it assembled in less than 20 minutes. With properly inflated tires I found the tension knob too tight to actually turn per instructions, and rather painful too. Fortunately I did not have any problems with tire slippage with far less tension. There are no online manuals or videos explaining how to attach the remote shifter, but this may be a moot point. Which brings me to the major criticism of this model, resistance.

A little background, I'm in my 40's and really out of shape. If I found the resistance range pretty narrow and too light I would guess anyone in better athletic condition will want to start with a trainer with a higher resistance capacity, which this one just won't give you.

Having lived with it for a while, I think I should have either bought the model without the cable, saving myself the money or spent the extra $60-$120 to start with the Magneto or Fluid2, then I wouldn't be thinking of upgrading so early.

Honest reviews on CycleOps Mag+ Indoor Bicycle Trainer Trainer with Bar Mounted

A little noisy but with headphones you can hardly tell. I have really enjoyed this trainer. It's easy to set up/take down, it provides a great work out and it's small enough to store in out small apartment. Over all a great purchase. It even arrived before the expected shippment date!

It is very simple to put together and mounting your bike is even easier. This would be perfect for a person looking for a light workout, but it does not provide enough resistence for a serious bike rider. The tension adjustments are barely noticable. I should have opted for the more expensive, but more refined fluid trainer. Don't make the same mistake.

This was our second attempt to find our 2 year old a good scooter. Our first was a wooden one which was sturdy, but much heavier and more awkward for her.

This one is a big improvement. My first impression is that is it very solid and well designed. The assembly is a snap, literally. No tools required (a welcome change from the first one which had tons of small parts). The handlebars slide into the base and the two clips lock in place. You could easily take it apart for transport without any tools as well.

While our two year old is tall (almost 3' tall), this is a good height right now with lots of room to grow. By the time the handlebars are too short, she'll probably be over the weight limit anyway.

The turning system is different than a regular scooter or bike, but it seems to work very well, and I think she'll get the hang of it soon. It does seem to pull slightly to the left, but I suspect that will go away over time once she starts understanding how it works and breaks it in.

Overall, I really like this product and company. We have another product from YBike (the Pewi) which is well built too and has seen a lot of happy use. The company has responded quickly to a question I had, even on a weekend. I'd highly recommend this product.

Honest reviews on YBIKE GLX Scooter, 12cm

But it's probably our fault for introducing this scooter AFTER he got used to the kind that have wheels that turn with the handle. He likes his old, faded (once red but now pink) scooter from 2003 with the wheels that turn when you turn the handle. This new Ybike scooter is the kind that steers when you lean and he still doesn't get it. It's very nice looking, with a bright green color, ridges on the foot board and a sensitive brake at the back. We're definitely going to keep this scooter as my son will eventually have to get used to it once the old scooter "disappears".

My three-year-old girls have a blast on this scooter. It almost took one full month for them to get the hang of the steering/leaning, but now that they have it down, they are cruising all around the neighborhood. The durable and FAST wheels are one of the things that really set this apart from other scooters. We have owned this scooter for 6 months and we have had no structural problems at all. The only negative that I can think of is how low the deck sits. I understand that it probably has to be this low because of the unique steering, but it has caused some problems when trying to go up or down a curb.

My three kids ages 11, 9, and 5 love these. My aunt has two and they have so much trouble waiting for their turn. i just bought this one for my 5 yr old for her 6th b-day. I know she's gonna love. All the kids love these. I like that they get them out from behind electronic devices and exercising. Often those who aren't riding will play or ride other bikes while waiting their turn. My biggest worry is they are low to the ground so I HIGHLY recommend supervision in areas where there are vehicles. At my aunts we're in the country and she has a large driveway so that is not a concern. Get your kids one and get them moving! You won't be sorry!

Best Deals for Razor 360 Flash Rider

We bought 2 Razor 360 Flash Riders from Amazon for our twins who turned 12 yesterday. They went absolutely BONKERS for these fun toys! They got the hang of riding and spinning and riding and spinning very quickly. They said the seats were comfortable...one said it was like sitting in a recliner! lol Because they're sitting so low to the ground there's no chance of them flipping this 'trike' over, which is important considering they're spinning and riding around like crazy men. It really reminded me of watching bumper cars at the Fair the way they'd ride straight then turn the handlebars and get it to spin (only my kids weren't crashing into each other....yet....hahaha). My husband and I were very entertained just watching them. The Razor 360's are rated to 160 lbs, so our kids will get many years use out of them.

My husband did the minimal assembly required without any problem. He's a perfectionist, OCD Engineer and he was impressed by the sturdiness of the Razor 360's build. It's got a solid, hard rubber front time, so there's no worry about it popping or wearing through like cheap plastic tires. The back wheels are the standard, small, white Razor wheels which are on their other products. We posted a video of the boys riding the 360's on Facebook and were immediately inundated with questions from friends who'd never seen such a thing. We HIGHLY recommend this toy....as a matter of fact, we're going to contact Razor and BEG them to make an adult version! Seriously!!

We own a big old 4 story building we're rehabbing and the 2nd floor is wide open with wood floors. The boys can ride these things even in the winter and they'll be getting much-needed exercise instead of being couch potatoes and vegging out during the cold Illinois winters. I'll be one happy Mom that they'll be entertained and NOT FIGHTING (is it only my kids who do that?) when they're playing on their Razor 360's! As they were running out the door to go to school this morning they were already talking about riding their Razor 360's when they got home today. Yippee....more exercise disguised as FUN!!!!

Oh, as a side note, WHEN (not if) you buy one of these, read the instructions on the side of the box....they're hilarious! Like, don't try to start a fire while riding the 360 by using the spark feature; Don't ride it on a public thoroughfare (like any sane parent would let their kid ride a TRIKE on a busy street! lololol) etc. All kidding aside, Razor makes quality products, and we recommend the Razor 360 Flash Rider 100%. It's SO WORTH THE MONEY!!!

I wanted to replace a tricycle, because our son was wheeling downhill too fast for me and I wanted him on a more stable, less likely to tip over three wheeler. Now four and at 42" tall, he is just big enough to pedal it. He has a bit of a problem going up our slight hills, but I think that will improve as he gets taller. The adjustable seat works well, and overall is well made and easy to assemble. The flag makes him more visable, but I do not let him ride without me along side on my bike anyway. For me, it is the coolest looking Big Wheel out there. With two more adjustments left in the seat, there's plenty of room for him to grow.

My 2 sons needed the big wheel experience. For the education minded parents, they needed the thrill of their heightened imagination as they learned the laws of physics. This toy is perfect in size-1 child is 6y, 46.5 inches and has his seat placed in the last of the three settings with legs fully stretched. His feet arent trying to reach and yet he will still have plenty of room for more growth. I was nervous with the size since the box picture child is younger and the other brands build theirs more for nine year olds or the really tall kids. In stores, he never came close to reaching the others pedals. My 4y old is 44 inches and enjoys the seat at its second setting. He has his knees more bent and gets more leverage and control. The front tires softer red rubber adds the much appreciated extra traction that others neglect. The back are the typical smooth tires, not great for bigger inclines, perfect for big wheel spin outs. The first one took this mom with no power tools 40 minutes to assemble, the second one 20 minutes. Requires hammer, phillips screw driver and a cresent wrench or pliers. I think both is a plus for tightening. Simply achieved for ecstatic children.

I bought this for my son's 5th birthday and he loves it. I was a little hesitant due to the price versus some of the other "big wheel" bikes but I am so glad I decided on this one. It is very well made and sturdy. I like how easy it is to change the seat positions so my 7 year old daughter can ride it too. My son has mastered how to spin on this and he rides it everyday. I am happy that it has a safety flag on it too, these bikes are so low to the ground it helps cars see him and makes me feel that he is safer than the bikes without flags. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend buying this bike.

Honest reviews on Radio Flyer 79S Big Flyer

Extremely well made and durable. Looks cool too. It is great on flat surfaces but it's hard to make it up a hill. Your weight is all on the back so the front wheel spins when you try to climb up slanted surface.

Holding up quite well since Santa brought them to two 5 year old boys. Grandma especially likes the tall flags on the back. Since they are low to the ground, this is great for visability.

My 5 year old son received the Big Wheel for his 5th birthday. After returning it once for missing parts I finally got it assembled. He loved it when we gave it to him UNTIL he tried to ride it. My son only weighs 46 lbs and upon sitting on it for the FIRST time the forks holding the front wheel collapsed and the bike folded. It was unusable. This is not the "Big Wheel" of my childhood. They were indestructibe (I tried when I was his age). I don't know how they can use the Big Wheel name. This is a cheap Chinese piece of dung. Target was gracious enough to return it for a full refund.

Now for the Radio Flyer. We bought this on Amazon for the same price the stores wanted, but with free shipping and no tax. Assembly wasn't that bad, just follow the pictures (no words). When my son rode it, he was like lightning!!! He loves it and rides it almost every day. He goes fast and turns to spin and laughs crazily. This bike is VERY stable and does not tip over, even at high speeds. It is very durable and actually has some METAL parts, I know, unheard of right?

Buy the "Radio Flyer" if you are even thinking about this kind of toy. You won't regret spending the extra few bucks.

If you have a child's bike w/ 14" rims, you already know most stores including walmart, target, and toys r us, and specialty bike stores probably don't carry this tire in stock. Amazon was the one place that I was able to find this size tire and the prices are reasonable.

This tire is well made. My daughters bike still has training wheels and she worn down the tread due to the training wheels being set a little too low. Her spin outs on uneven surfaces eventually worn down the tire tread. This tire was an exact match to the one on her bike. She was thrilled to have her bike back in like new condition with no more spin outs. And yes, I did adjust the training wheels so it will not spin out anymore.
