On yer bike!

Advantages: well priced bike
Disadvantages: no big extras

...It's been a year since my eldest daughter got this bike, a year in which she has gone from being a rather wobbly and unskilled novice to, some would say, slightly over-confident. She's now an extremely competent bike rider who rides this bike pretty well every week - as you can see from the picture it's rather muddy and well used, though still in very good condtion. This was my daughter's second bike, she learnt on a smaller wheeled bike with stabilisers. As the name would suggest, this particular model is a 20" wheeled bike. It's important to note that it has no gears and is, in all respects, a basic bike. We bought it from our local Halfords, where it is currently available for £79.99, which is about what we paid at time of purchase too. Having realised she had outgrown her original bike we had shopped around and visited a few...

On Yer Bike!

Advantages: Great fun, slow, Harry loves it
Disadvantages: Noisy, siren is a pain

...Now, Harry isn't what I would call a daredevil. In fact, he's not into anything that moves too fast or does things that he doesn't expect to happen, pretty much like any 2 and a half year old I expect. So as you can imagine, I wasn't overly thrilled when I found out last year that Harry's great aunt had bought him a motorised motor bike. Please bear in mind last Christmas he was only 21 months old and consequently pretty small and unconfident, but nonetheless, the Halfords Mini Racer Bike was on its way to us courtesy of my parents. It wasn't something we expected to keep for long but funnily enough, its now become Harry's favourite ever toy! The Halfords Mini Racer Bike is available from the Halfords website, and in-store but I can't really say I have ever seen one when I have been into a Halfords. My brother works for Halfords...

Review of Halfords Mini Racer Bike

~Davina Foldable Magnetic Exercise Bike~

Advantages: silent, compact, comfortable = brilliant
Disadvantages: not a great computer

...Davina Magnetic Foldable Exercise Bike I seem to go through phases of either doing a whole load of exercise at home or none at all. For the last year however I have been doing a lot of running and I was getting up to do a 6am run when is was still light. However as the mornings are now really dark I have not been going out running as much as I was before due to time restraints. Plus I have also been suffering from a bad spell of sciatica which I am due to see the physio about as I am unsure whether to exercise it or not seeing as there is so much conflicting information. With all this in mind I thought it about time I updated a few of my at home exercise equipment and when I saw this bike in Argos I thought it looked great and the small reviews on the site rated the product highly so I didn't hesitate to drive to my local store...
