Huffy Boys Pro Thunder 20 - Inch Bike Review

The photo doesn't show it, but the handle bars are spread really wide, which forces your kid to have his arms up and hands spread apart in a not-natural way. This makes it really hard to control the bike. Bad design. I'm going to see if I can buy a normal pair of handle bars because I've had the bike too long to return it. Wish I never bought it.

THE FRONT WHEEL WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE. A BICYCLE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT WOULD COST $70 TO GET IT READY FOR RIDING. SO, I RETURNED IT AND BOUGHT AN AMAZING USED BICYCLE FOR $80.

Polaris Edge LX160 Kids Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

First, let me say that is is a great bike for your little boy to learn on. My boy is 3 and is an average size for his age, and this bike fits him perfectly.
PROS:
- Has a pad on the top bar (very important for little boys learning to ride)
- Has a full chain guard...not just on the top of the chain
- Has chunky tires that aren't too narrow
- Very easy to assemble out of the box (although the directions aren't for this exact bike)
- Seat looks a bit awkward in the picture, but it is actually a good design and holds your little ones bottom in the correct place
- A nice color red that isn't too flashy, yet stands out enough for others to be able to see your child when riding (not like a black or darker colored bike, which is hard to notice on a street)
CONS:
- Manual & directions aren't for this exact bike (looks like the company has 1 manual & includes it with all of their bikes...and it is for adult bikes)
- My biggest gripe - the fenders shown in the picture are NOT the ones that come with the bike. I have listed a picture of the bike we have showing the difference in the fenders. It is not a huge difference, but the ones that come with it do not wrap around the top of the tire as much as the stock photo shows, which makes them essentially pointless in keeping the tire splash angled downward - and they don't look as "cool" because they don't have the holes in the side giving a "beefier" look. :(
- No reflector for the back of the bike, only front (which isn't a huge deal because I plan on putting a flashing LED, but something worth mentioning).
**UPDATE**
Seems the bike has a few things that were redesigned on it...so my picture was removed. I still don't like the fenders that come on the bike now. But I am happy to report that the bike is still in great shape over 2 years later!!

I really like this bike. My friends have compared it to riding an arm chair it's so comfortable. Here is everything that is wrong or has gone wrong with it:
-two of the bolts to attach the seat were missing. $5 to replace
-a tube went flat immediately. $5 to replace
-the rear derailleur up and broke. $35 to replace
Despite this, it was still worth the money and when the bike is working, I like it a lot. A lot of strangers admire it.

Schwinn Southport Men's Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

It was just what I expected of a US$160 bike with no aluminum frame. It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. So many people admire my bike... inlcuding me of course! It's such a great looking bike for that money and with great geometry. I'm 6'1" and I feel pretty comfortable although I usually don't ride for more than one hour.
The breaks did require a bit further tweaking but still deserves 5 stars.

The helmet is awesome. It fit like a glove without needing adjustment, looks great and is very comfortable. The straps hold it snugly, and it doesn't shift. It is also very light.

With a straight-up skate-style design, the Giro Flak Mountain Bike Helmetoffers great coverage without getting in the way and is built for the core free-ride and dirt-jump crowd. This mountain-bike helmet is constructed with a high-impact ABS shell, and includes 13 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and warm air out. The Flak mountain helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Flak helmet weighs 410 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

Helmet Tips--You Should Always...
Wear a helmet when you ride
Wear your helmet low in the front to protect the forehead
Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap
Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet
Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage
Wear a helmet designed for your activity

About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
