Doesn’t live up to the magazine. I love the Mental Floss magazine and blogs. I am a huge, huge fan. I was super excited to get this game. So, believe me when I say that this game is just not that good. It’s not challenging, and two adults can complete Mental Floss Trivia Game in under 15 minutes. I know this because every time I’ve played it, it’s taken only that long–and I certainly don’t mean that my friends and I were just so smart that we got through it quickly, I mean that it’s just a very, very quick game. A game this quick is just not that fun to play. Some of the questions are moderate to difficult, but the vast majority have really obvious, simple answers that don’t challenge the players. Easy, dull questions combined with a laughably short playing time mean that this game will not be taken off my shelf very often, if ever again. I considered giving it two stars, but I’m just so disappointed that Mental Floss would market this game that I had to knock it down a star.

Great toy with room for improvement. This is a great toy and the kids love it. What’s not to love with fridge magnets? The thing is, wrong body parts match to make silly creatures. Perhaps no noise should occur when that happens or the correct parts should be the only ones that “fit” together like a puzzle. My improvements are really for older kids and if implemented would then require more pieces.Still a great toy, especially for the age group specified.

Light up!. I commute by bike through the city and having these on my legs gives me a lot more confidence that I won’t be broadsided.

They work great! Good value.

Just Perfect II!. Of course with a new bike, our 3-year-old needed extra protection. Helmet is easy for him to put on himself.

Love it!. I purchased this bike to continue with my physical therapy after hip replacement surgery. It was delivered quickly–less than a week. My husband assembled Schwinn 140 Upright Exercise Bike for me in about 35 minutes. The bike is just about silent when it is in use, and I love the LED readout that helps you keep track of the time, speed, RPM’s, distance and calories burned. It’s stable but not too heavy to have to move from place to place. I started at about 5 minutes a day and I am up to 15 minutes. My hip is doing great and another benefit is that I have started to lose inches as well! I would recommend this bike to others.

Bike light review. The light is better than what I have expected for the price. I like Planet Bike Beamer 3 LED Bicycle Light with Quick Cam Bracket Mount a lots and brought two of them. I would say with that it is a bargain for the money I spent.

Schwinn Ridge AL. I just received my bike. I was pleasantly surprised to see Schwinn Ridge AL Mens Mountain Bike had trigger shifters not grip. The bike is amazingly light! Even with out of tuning the bike yet it handles great! The ergonomics of this bike are very comfortable for me… hard to find when you are taller. The risers allow me to grip the handles without having to be bent over.

Good gadget for its price. Here is another update, after moved from one bike to another, Schwinn 17-Function Bike Computer started to work again! I believe there are some bad contact in the wiring but do not know exactly where.

Here is an update. My unit died after 14 months! The problem happens on the wires. I would still give it 4 stars for its price.

It is a good gadget for riders.

1. It is accurate in mileage – better than any of those wireless bike computers.

2. The temperate is not accurate.

3. The installation is easy. Pay attention that the direction of the bands to fasten it and the direction of the clip on your steering.

4. The battery comes inside the meter, not separately, have to change shortly after start.

5. Functions are good and practical, no gimics.

Bike store quality and sized right. This is an entry level road bike. With that being said GMC Denali Road Bike has good quality welds the frame is aluminum 7005 series with steel forks my scale says it weighs 24.2 lbs!! The frame has 1 waterbottle mount I wish it had two!! It also has a replaceable derailleur hanger ,curved seatstays, a very good paint job and The MOST important feature it comes in different sizes I am 6′3″ and it’s hard to find a bike that really fits me in my price range. So this bike is my saving grace my back is going to thank me!

plus it has a lifetime frame warranty, wich is a big plus!!

The components are lower end shimano but that is an easy fix. I plan on getting new bars (wider) and bar end shifters it has twist shifters stock! then when the derailleurs get a little sloppy I am definately going with shimano 105s. The wheels are bolt on (wish they were quick release) but you can get a skewer compatible axle for them!

I would have to say if your looking for a decent, correctly sized and definately excellent price road bike,This is the one!! I would reccomend putting a little grease on the bearings every now and then and definately buy some silver anti seize to keep the steel bolts from corroding in the aluminum parts that way it will last a long time!! all it takes is regular maintenence to make them last. I am very happy after spending the last 10 or 12 years cramped on too small mountain bikes, Because I couldn’t even find a used road bike in my size near this price. I say if your’e thinking about getting it, Go ahead!! You won’t be disappointed!!

cool solitaire – now with cover. Very intriguing puzzle for young and old puzzlers. Mine came with a somewhat flimsy plastic cover held on with a rubber band…cumbersome, but ThinkFun Rush Hour does allow the game to travel. I suggest the extra sets of cards available because the ones it comes with will run out before your enjoyment does!
