5 Stars Great trailer
This turned out to be a great little trailer. I was definitly skeptical at first based on the price. I used to own one I bought at C***co that I bought for $150.00. This one is much lighter, easier to assemble, folds more compactly and easier and has a better bike connection. All for $50.00 less.

5 Stars The “I-don’t-have-anymore-excuse-that-I-have-to-watch-the-babies-instead-of-exercise” bike trailer
I loved this product and so did my kids. It’s very easy to attach and detach to the bike and it folds up to save space. I also like the option of attaching a handle for running. And the price is perfect. I went to Walmart and Target and the trailers there were $[...] more expensive and didn’t have the running bar attachment.

3 Stars Great for price …
This is a terrific price for a trailer considering what else is out there, as in you pretty much have to take out a loan to buy a Burley, Chariot, or Croozer! However, this should be recommended for the occasional rider or for small children!

THe problems with this trailer are: only one kid should sit in here, it IS tight, they DO get squashed together and it’s just plain uncomfortable. I have 2 and 4 yr old boys who weigh 32 and 35 pds and it is not comfy for them. Small wheels, somewhat bumpy ride. The flaps are metal buttoned to the trailer. They are virtually impossible to get closed and will have you cursing the thing as soon as you try it. No tint on plastic windows.Still for the price you just can’t beat it.

4 Stars Great for what we use it for
I’m not a distance bicyclist by any means, my hubby and I just ride around town, for close errands etc. We have had great success with this so far, It works great for what we need it for. I love how easy it is to detach and use as a stroller, I was worried that switching would be a pain.

While it works perfectly for us, I do think babies would get overheated on longer trips, even with just the mesh screen up there’s not a good airflow. I’m sure it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t summer, and that may just be a characteristic of all trailers, I’m not sure. It doesn’t cause problems for us really, but might for a distance biker. Also, I can see how it wouldn’t work out well for multiple children. For just one, it’s a comfy enough ride, but 2 would be falling into each other a lot.

2 Stars You Get What You Pay For…
Sadly, I have to agree with the other poor reviews. My 13 month old hates this thing. The seats are not comfortable for him; no matter how we try to adjust the straps they cut into the neck… and it gets very very hot in there even when biking in the shade. It is not really a smooth ride at all. I am very disappointed in this product.

PTI Schwinn 12 Function Computer

PTI Schwinn 12 Function Computer




The folks at Schwinn obviously know a thing or two about bike accessories and this 12-function instrument should come in handy for anyone looking to use their biking time for something other than a pleasant pedal around the neighborhood. Attach it to your bike or hold it on the attached cord and get information on your speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, odometer readings, total distance, ride time, and more. Bearing in mind that it’s hard to push a lot of buttons while biking, the device features a single button control panel, allowing you to get the right information while still staying upright on the bike. –Charlie Williams

2 Stars works.. but horrible display
If all you do is ride mid-day this thing will work fine.

But if you ever wear polarized sunglasses or ride any time dear dusk or dawn, the horribly cheap polarization on the LCD display will make this thing unreadable.

5 Stars Great little gadget
I just bought mine a couple days ago at a local WalMart, for a wee bit more than it costs here on Amazon — I didn’t plan well and needed it quick. Set it up in 5-10 minutes max, it seemed to work fine. Gotta be patient to put the magnet as close to the sensor as possible without touching, though. That is the only “time consuming” part of the setup. The owner’s manual lists a few wheel sizes and the corresponding C factor that you have to enter in the computer, and fortunately mine (26 x 2) was there, so I didn’t even have to mess with measuring tape and calculator.

Today I had my first ride with it, and it performed great for such an inexpensive product. I rode to the soccer field, which is exactly 5 miles from my place (as measured on Google maps and by car). Lo and behold, the little computer measured exactly 5 miles when I got there. I was impressed. It gives the current, average, and maximum speeds, odometer and trip meter, the riding time, and has a regular watch. It tells you whether you’re speeding up or down, and whether you are currently above or below your average speed. The ONLY thing I miss on this unit is a thermometer. It’s perfect apart from that.

If I wasn’t in a hurry, I would have bought the 17-function Schwinn one that is here on Amazon, since it costs a little less than I paid for the 12-function one and measures temperature — although I don’t know how accurate that is in direct sunlight anyway. I don’t care for measures of calories and stuff like that, since I don’t believe the manufacturers know my metabolism.

1 Star Schwin Bike computer
She only used it 2 times by the 3 time it would not register any speed or any distance she had been. Thank you

5 Stars Best Value bicycle speedometer.
I’ve had one of these for about six months and just ordered another from Amazon. This little computer is accurate, reliable and easy to use.

The display shows your speed in large letters and has a selectable smaller readout for whatever function you choose. I wind up having it show speed and time all the time. If you’re satisfied with a simple, cheap speedometer and only occasionally use the other functions, this is the one.

Here are some hints that fairly eliminate most of the small complaints.

1. Install the magnet close to the wheel’s hub and adjust it (twist the sensor in) so that the magnet passes as close as possible without touching.

2. Remove the computer when the bike is not in use. It has a quick release; store it inside or in your pocket and the battery will last.

3. Leaving it outside in direct sunlight may cause a dark splotch on the screen. This is normal for led displays, and goes away in a few seconds. Also see hint #2.

4. Read the manual to learn how to reset it (which buttons to hold down), and to calibrate it for your wheel size.

The only issues I’ve had: the buttons will eventually get some “play” if you use them a lot and become contrary, and I need to be careful to secure it firmly in the quick release mount (so that it doesn’t fall out when I hit a bump).

5 Stars Great for the price
The only problem with it is its in KM/Hr instead of Miles/Hr, otherwise, for the price, it works great.

1 Star Not for soccer!! too soft
I bought these shoes because I wanted something I can wear around town and also play soccer with the shoes. Believe me, you are going to wish you did not buy them if you kick a soccer ball with them. I dont know what and “indoor soccer ball” feels like but I tried these shoes on two balls that I have because at first I thought one of the balls that I had was too hevay and hard but it turns out it was the shoes, after kicking 30 yard shots my foot was hurting so I put on my cheap spaldings from walmart and they felt better, now I realize Im going to have to return them and buy some real soccer shoes that are hard so I can kick 30 40 yarders all day long without hurting my foot like I did with these shoes..my email is rickalex21@hotmail.com if you have any comments send me with a subject of “amazon adidas mens sambas” .

5 Stars my son loves them
This is my son’s second pair. Right now it’s the only shoe he’ll wear….

5 Stars Great shoes…. Great service
Comfortable shoes that are right on size. I always wear a size 12 and they fit great.

5 Stars Samba Classic Are Timeless
I’ve been wearing Samba Classic for over 30 years. This order arrived quickly and the quality was as expected.

5 Stars The Best Shoe Ever
I have been wearing Adidas Sambas for 12 or 13 years and I absolutely love them. The best tennis shoe of all time.

5 Stars Love it! Love it! Love it!
My friend suggested these sandals to me. I haven’t wanted to take them off ever since they arrived at the door! All my other sandals have ended up in the back of the closet. My rainbows are just wonderful! I suggest them for everyone I know.

1 Star Disappointed!
Sandals are very narrow and long! Too much work to return, but much too expensive for what I got. Not happy with them! Walmart would have been a better bet! Michele

4 Stars Great Shoes, but do NOT get them wet.
I have had two pairs of rainbows, and they are magnificent. They are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever owned, and they match with everything. However, do not wear them in the rain, or to the pool, or to the beach etc. because if they get wet and you walk around in them they will dye the bottom of your feet orange.

1 Star Awful Sandals
They will not last forever (probably only a year or so and of that year you’ll spend several weeks with sore feet trying to break them in) and the customer service is horendous (have a list of exclusions which covers just about everything and if not, they will make an exclusion up when they reject your warranty claim).

5 Stars Best Shoes Ever
Comfortable, Sturdy, Cute. I absolutely love these shoes. I have gotten rid of my other flip-flops and I live my summers in these.
