Heart warming with just enough truth to make it seem real.
This gives pause to how we think of humanity
today. Are we stuck in the past or are we willing to grow and evole?
I actually already reviewed this item. Perhaps it didn’t go thru. This item sells for over $30.00 at the local pet stores, including Pet Smart and the independent stores, so when I found it at such a good price on Amazon, I decided to try it. I was amazed. It is safe, it is not sharp and it really works. I highly recommend it to anyone with pets that shed. I have never seen anything like it. There is so much fur that it digs out without any pain or irritation to your pet that it is almost unbelievable.

This is the second one I have bought now. I keep one at work. I love it. The best thing besides its accuracy is the feature of working while in your pocket, or even inside a fanny bag attached to you. It keeps time, tells the calories, and tells the difference in your stride: how aerobic your steps were. This is a “must” for someone looking for a reliable pedometer.

It cleans pretty well. However there are some major design problems. Number one the cord gets entagled in the hose the way things are setup. Also this baby is Loud with a capital “L”. Surprised it is so loud for such a lightweight vac. Also the vac is made very poorly. In fact, mine shipped with all kinds of dust on it from the factory–I’m sure somewhere in China.
I suppose these are the tradeoffs for a vacuum this price.

The Garmin Portable Friction Mount is easily attached to the Navigator and does not have to be removed for the storage of both items. It sits firmly with no slippage in virtually any location for easy driver (and/or passenger) visibility and, when removed, leaves no clue as to its existence for potential thieves.

I received this scale as a gift and I like it a lot. It has an option to show weight either in kilos or pounds, the feature that I was looking for. The scale turns on by a gentle touch and has very nice, elegant design. I really like it!

Very well-written, great development of the 3 main characters, captures a time in our country’s history that was volatile, shows how the courage of a few can bring about change for many.

Almost Good Enough. I have ridden this bike for more than a year. It was my primary car. It has not fallen apart as some have said it would. It is also not the fastest ride on the block. I commute 5 miles daily and a longer 13 mile ride about once a week. It is good in that it is a bicycle that works. The main problems I have encountered are, where to mount the lights, (grip shifters sit in the exact spot that the headlight should), and how do you attach a cargo rack? The ring that tightens down the seat post is the only place to attach the rack, which makes it extreemely dificult to tighten the seat post. Also, the allen bolts used to tighten the seat post are fairly soft. I would prefer other shifters so that I have the bar space to work with for lights and a speedometer. As it is I have an extension bar attached to the headset for my peripherals. I have saved enough in gas that it has paid for itself already. Please note that part of the problems with this bike stem from the use of non standard parts. Because the seat post and down tube are so large, I cannot put on a quick release ring. Because the Aero rims are drilled for Schraeder valves, it is very difficult to replace the tubes. (if there is one thing you will need to replace on any bike, it is the tubes)Also, you will need to replace the brake pads as soon as you can.
Worth The Money…. I bought this bike because GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike had pretty good reviews…and honestly, at 200 lbs. I needed a bike just a little more heavy duty than what was available in a dept. store…When it got delivered, I was quite impressed with the overall build and features of the bike. With dual disc brakes (that work great), quick release hubs and seat post, heavy duty V-rims… shimano componants…it really is quite a nice bike for the price. I’ve seen many argue that you should go to a bike shop for a bike…well, I looked around, you can expect to pay between well over $1000. to around $7000. for a dual suspension bike. GET REAL…I only paid $5100. for a brand new Honda XR-650 (motorcycle)…I’ve ridden this bike many times now without any problems. Keep in mind, however, that most bikes will need to be “fine tuned” when put together (brake adjustment, derailleur adjustment)These are very simple to do…If you arent sure, go to YouTube…you can find how-to videos there. All in all, I would surely recommend this bike to a friend if you are looking for something just a little nicer than your average dept. store bike.
