We just purchased the Mongoose Squid Unicycle for my 11 year old daughter. She was up and riding in one week. It is a very good deal for someone looking for a unicycle for casual riding.

Show off your mad unicycle skills with the 20-inch Mongoose Squid, which gets its name from the uniquely designed four-arm tentacle frame in black with scrolling golden accents that stretch down from the seat to the hub. Because of the frame design, it's a great choice for commuting and locking up using a standard bike lock.
A fun way to travel around town, the Squid features a 3-inch wide slick tire that's perfect for hugging city streets, a 36-spoke, heavy duty 20-inch wheel, pedals with integrated reflectors, and shiny chrome front grab handle and back bumper built into the comfortably padded seat--great for new riders learning to ride a unicycle.
Features:
Black and silver design
Four arm tentacle frame
Wheel with 36 spokes and 3-inch slick tire
Grab handle and bumper built into saddle
Measures 29.92 x 7.87 x 21.65 inches (L x W x H):

About Mongoose In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.
The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).
In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.
In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.

MKS Sylvan Touring Pedal Double Sided Review

MKS Sylvan Touring Pedal Double Sided

The MKS Sylvan Touring pedals are an excellent product. Far better quality than any similar looking pedals carried by any of my local bike shops. Their style is based on very similar touring pedals popular many decades ago. Steel axle with an all-alloy body and cage plates. These are very nicely finished and offer a good wide platform for wide feet, casual or athletic shoes and skate shoes as well as modern MTB style cycling shoes which you can also use - but without their usual SPD cleats.
I have recently taken to riding without modern MTB or Road style clipless pedals - and even without older style toe-clips and straps on some bikes. These fit my needs extremely well. They are attractive enough to use on a cherished Vintage bike and would look equally at home on your modern $3,000 Rivendell bike as well.
These are an excellent choice for a commuter bike where you may not want to bother with toe-clips and straps, and they will even work well wearing construction boots. Whereas your old school Campagnolo quill-style racing pedals were designed for toe-clips and had one proper side of the pedal to accept your shoe, these are double-sided so you can plant your shoe or (even sandal) comfortably to which ever side it lands on. That's something I really appreciate - no more fussing to correctly position the pedal when frequently stopped at traffic lights. A nice alternative to either more bulky BMX style pedals or the cheap and poorly made plastic pedals more commonly available.
The bearings which these use (simple loose balls) can be serviced if this is ever needed. The threaded alloy dust cover on the end of the pedal will remove using a vintage Campagnolo pedal tool [catalogue item #710] and although still quite uncommon in the US, MKS also makes their own (similar) small serrated wrench to remove the dust caps. - I recently found those available from www.velo-orange.com (selling for $12.50). In a pinch, you can also use a slip-joint pliers, but I think these pedals are really too nice to tear up.
The bearings may feel a bit tight as factory set. So, you can either adjust them or just leave them as they are and they will soon seat themselves for a smoother feel. Personally, I did open up my pedals as soon as they were received, adjusted the bearing cones and added a bit of grease... but, that's just because I'm a bit fussy and obsessive about such things.
These pedals should last for many thousands of pleasant cycling miles. For the price and overall quality they are one of the best cycling bargains around.

Smith Optics Serpico Sunglasses Review

Smith Optics Serpico Sunglasses
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excellent shades. I bought the gold with polarized brown version. They have a classic aviator look but with a more wrap-around style that contours nicely to the face. I have a slightly larger head and face and these fit perfectly without looking huge like many shades you find and are very comfortable. The lenses are top notch and clarity is awesome. The brown/amber lenses allow you to wear these in a variety of conditions as they're not too dark to wear around dusk or a bit cloudier day.
The only downside is the rubber ends of the arms will scratch the inside of the lens if the glasses are folded up and not treated carefully. I use some Croakies to avoid this so it hasn't been an issue but that's the only flaw I could find.
Overall these are great shades. Very stylish and inexpensive for high quality polarized lenses.

The sunglass industry's first Toric aviator model, the Smith Serpico will bring out the honest cop in all of us. The Serpico is outfitted with a lightweight wire frame made of optical-grade metal allow, and includes acetate temple tips to give the sunglass a classic appeal. The 9x3 Toric carbonic TLT lenses, meanwhile, are contoured so that light travels through without distortion--a major improvement over many other sunglass models. Carbonic lenses are also the most impact-resistant lenses on the market, with an anti-scratch coating that keeps them looking fresh through the years. Best of all, the Serpico fuses a mid-'70s aviator aesthetic with modern optical clarity, making this the ultimate in high-fashion eyewear. Available with both polarized and non-polarized lenses, the Serpico offers a medium fit with large coverage and carries Smith's legendary lifetime warranty.

Equipped with a patented interchangeable lens system that's ideal for the running trail, golf course, or bike trail, the Threshold Slider sunglass is lightweight and versatile. The lenses are easy to swap thanks to the slider system, which lets you remove each lens with a quick upward motion. The polarized 9-base carbonic Tapered Lens Technology (TLT) design, meanwhile, blocks 99.9 percent of reflective glare while minimizing peripheral exposure to sun, wind, and glare. And wearers will love the Grilamid TR-90 frame, which includes Megol nose and temple pads to ensure a comfortable nonslip performance. Available in a medium/large fit with 16 replacement tints to choose from, the Threshold Slider is backed by Smith's legendary lifetime warranty.

MLB 2010 San Francisco Giants World Series Champions Chrome Frame Review

MLB 2010 San Francisco Giants World Series Champions Chrome Frame
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a license plate holder for the 2010 World Champions. Dear Amazon, THAT WOULD BE, the San Francisco Giants - NOT - Texas Rangers.
The Giants beat the Rangers - and then beat them again - and then beat the heck out of them to WIN THE World Series. I should know cause I was at the San Francisco City Hall watching the game on the big screen. I danced in the streets with strangers and honked my way home to Marin. Stopping by all the street parties on the way.
So - having Texas Rangers on the description for the WS champions is really really dumb.
I'm just wondering if somebody wished so hard for the Rangers to beat the Giants that they just added that description in a blissful wishful thinking daydream type error, or if they don't know squat about the two teams, never even watched the WS, and just ASSUMED that the Rangers would win - and didn't double check their facts.
Sort of funny, but as a Giants fan, I am appalled. I've been waiting 50 of my 52 years for the Giants to win and we can't even get respect when we do.
That being said, I like this license plate over the others because the lettering is in script, and for a chicks car, it's more feminine looking.

Great product. I ordered 2 of them a Chrome and a White one. I wasn't expecting much for 3 bucks but they came in great condition and works as describe.
My girlfriend and I ride along a paved trail at times with alot of people. The ring...ring..sound is plesant to the ears is loud enough to get the attention of people. No more yelling "On you left".
All you need is a phillips screw driver and it took only but a couple of minutes to install on the handle bar. I installed mine on the right side and angled it away from me for easier access for my fingers.
I have only had used the product for 3 months but the only negative is that on rougher trails and on bumps the bell will give off a little ring. So I wouldn't put this thing on a real mountain bike. But what hardcore mountain biker would in the first place. LOL.
So don't hesitate buy it if you need one. It will save you from yelling for people to move and it looks cool. I will be ordering more for gifts for all my biking friends.

Pyramid Bicycle Squeeze Horn, Bugle, Chrome Plated Review

Pyramid Bicycle Squeeze Horn, Bugle, Chrome Plated
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this from a bike shop in town for $1 more than on Amazon because I wanted to actually hear all the horns/bells.
This horn is packaged so you can squeeze the bulb without removing the package so you can hear the horn and see the product without actually putting it on your bike. This horn is all metal and it is louder than all the others on the rack at the store (I tested them all) It feels quite solid.
It also looks old-fashioned with that bugle twist in it which is what I wanted on my "old fashioned" new cruiser type bike. I would give it a SOLID 5 as it is barring any durability issues.
My new bike is in the shop right now getting put together. I also ordered the Pyramid 3 horn here on Amazon which doesn't seem to have a defect and looks even more "different"
I decided to keep this horn for one bike and the 3 horned horn on another bike (both from the same company). The bulb has not come off as one reviewer wrote and I have used it many times.
If it ever falls off I will update this review. It works fine now and is quite solidly built.

Great horn, three tones really work, not just for show. Looks like it was designed by Dr. Suess, it is Loud!. For the price you can't beat it. My only complaint the piece that is used attach it to the bike is rather flimsy, I'd pay twice as much for the same horn with a solid attachment mechanism. Still, this horn deserves 5 stars for it's design and capability!..

Mirrycle Incredibell Big Bicycle Bell Review

Mirrycle Incredibell Big Bicycle Bell
Average Reviews:

When bicycling locally and approaching pedestrians, it can startle them to shout that you're passing. The "old-fashioned bell of our youth" gives a timely and pleasant 'warning' that a bicyclist is nearing, giving them ample time to step aside - and it puts a smile on their faces as They remember "The Bell". A young man declared it "awesome". The word 'big' is misleading, as the bell is the size of those of Years ago. I tested other bell-types, but those were cumbersome to use, and didn't give an adequate warning sound. The price was reasonable and they arrived quickly.

Zippo Brushed Chrome Pocket Lighter Review

If you are looking for a Zippo, chances are you want to do more than light a cigarette; you're probably getting this lighter to do tricks. If so, this is a good lighter to go with, it's a functional basic Zippo.

However, if you think you're going to be playing around with this thing for a while, you might seriously want to consider getting a slightly better looking one (perhaps black, or with a zippo logo) for a couple of extra bucks. I got this lighter last week, and am already in love with it and trick with it all the time; I already wish I had a fancier one to show off...
Also, remember this is a refillable ZIPPO lighter from which fuel dries over time if not used, HENCE IT COMES WITH NO FUEL FILLED(duh!). So do yourself a favor, and buy Zippo lighter fluid right now with the lighter and don't curse yourself later about having to pay shipping twice.
