Im a starting racer. And i know this bike is better than most bikes out there by diamondback. It is very light, considering your age or how good your skill is. it is VERY fast and has outstanding breaks.

I recently read the Catcher in the Rye, and I didn’t think it was all that great. I found it a bit boring actually. I couldn’t read the last 3 or 4 pages of chapter 25 because I got so tired of main characters whinning. It also seemed very likely that he had bipolar disorder.

The reason why I think I was able to keep reading the book up until the end is because I can kind of identify with Holden. Aside from that, Nothing.

It was basically a book where nothing happened and I was very disappointed with the way it ended.

I was not impressed with the book. Yes, it is intriguing and well-written. But the “wisdom” is what I would expect an articulate, well-versed liberal arts professor to say. So much of it is what we want to hear, what we want to believe. I felt like Neale created a God that placates people, tells them what they want to hear, tells of the wisdom of this age. I have read and studied several religious texts, from the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, etc. In my studies I came to know that the Bible holds the truth of God – but this is a realization for all of us to have individually with God. I actually picked up CwG before I came to believe in the Bible – and I put it down after I read it thinking that the book was filled with man’s wisdom. I had a course in college that taught the same thing. I was seeking God’s true wisdom and studied Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.

This book is nothing new, and tells people what they want to hear – not the truth of things. I don’t think God was the one moving Neale’s pen, I believe it was Neale’s own thoughts and wisdom moving his pen.

So, you can choose to listen to God’s truth or Neale’s truth. But this book is clearly full of Neale’s truth. The book takes basic modern-day mysticism tenets and attributes them to God moving Neale’s pen so Neale can enlighten the world.

Several friends mentioned this light as a great, midpriced rear tail-light. For background, I ride 1,000-1,500 miles a year, and just had my old light fail.

WOW! that strobe is bright. There is no way you won’t be noticed from behind while riding; any motor vehicle driver who says “I didn’t see him/her” would be lying. Other positive points are that the light can either be mounted to a seatpost, or clipped either to clothing, or on the loop of an under-saddle pack, like mine is. Also, the light has a good, heavy gasket to make it near impervious to water, and a pressure switch that exposes none of the internal parts.

Tail-lights generally run $10-40. For the $20 this light runs, it’s a best buy.

The mount does what its supposed to do. It fit my rear rack just right, but beware that the flasher slides in from the top so you need access through the top of the rack to mount & un-mount the flasher. If you have panniers or some other thing blocking access from the top you can’t get to flasher into the mount.

bike review. This bicycle exceeded our expectations. It is well made and is sturdy and fits our needs exactly. Shipping was excellent and GMC Road Bike arrived in perfect condition. We will definitely order from Amazon again. It is almost impossible to find anyone to ship here without major costs and problems. We encountered none of this and are very happy with the whole experience.

Aesthetically Pleasing!. Was looking for a biking helmet after purchasing a new Trek 1500 this weekend and wasn’t sure what I was looking for..

I went to Giro’s website and read up on the company and it’s history and thought I would try to see if I could find an “affordable” helmet thinking that these helmets were more “high end” and that most likely I would end up with a “cheaper” line but I was pleasantly surprised when I ran across one of these at a specialty bike shop for only $35! I tried it on and with the help of a wonderful sales person in the store had it adjusted to my head! The color I chose was white and found the fit and comfort of the helmet to be very good! So…I plunked down my $35 and tried it out that afternoon and love the feel and look! So for those of you looking for a name brand helmet at an affordable cost you can’t go wrong with this line! Very pleased with my choice!

Great Bike, no kidding!! its a steal… Bike is just great, 108 shipped.. What a excellent deal. Packing was excellent. Putting Mongoose Slyde Girls Freestyle Bike together is very easy and ready to ride. Fine tuning the gear, although it is 80 percent ready to ride gear switchng wise.. It does still need to be fined tuned sometime down the road. As all new bikes do no matter what they cost. You well need a few tools to put er together.. Regarding the bad brakes a few have commented below.. They are not bad, there just far apart and need adjusting. Anyone can do it.. Just lossen the brake cable and then pull the brake cable till the brake pads are very close to the rim. Tighten the cable and that is it. After doing that, my brakes stop on a dime.. Frame is beautifully painted all joints are welded perfect. Seat is comfy. Bike weight is 25 pounds with kick stand. Funny.. the first thing I did to the bike is, took off all the stickers on it. Must of lighten the bike by two pounds.. Things I changed on it so far are. I reversed the brake levers. With the revo shifter, “which I love”. The brake levers are way out of the picture on the handle bar. Mean you really have to reach down to use them. On a split sec, you be dead if you had to use them where they are now. I took off the grip. All it is is a tennis racket grip. Easy to remove and unwind. Loosen the levers and reversed them and put them a inch up more so up on the handle bar. Now the levers are facing me. Easy access to them as I’m shifting gears or just riding along. Reraping the grip is very easy. Now if I’m in a speed tucked position on a five mile stretch, which I’m not going to be thinking about brakes anyway, but if I do need them it is very easy to just reach up with one hand and stay tucked to use the back brake. Also, regarding the brake levers. The right works the back and the left works the front. I switched them so the left works the back. This way I can brake and still switch gears at the same time with my right hand. Plus it is more comfotable that way for me, using the left hand on the back brake. The revo shifter is great and works great.. Hey it is 108 dollar road bike. Put some lube on the chain. Have fun.. This bike for the price is a steal, it beautiful looking, easly put together, rides great. The frame 22.5 fits me perfect. 6′ 200lbs.

Enjoy! Accessories I ordered for it below.
