GT Aggressor XC2. What a Bike for the Money

Advantages: Strong Frame and Wheels, Tyres do not let go
Disadvantages: None really!!

...Bought this bike with my work cycle to work scheme. A great buy from Halfords. Excellent speck for the price and a very strong bike. I'm 18st 10 (253 ibs) and in my opinion this bike can handle this weight easily. Great colour Black with like a Pearlesent White, Very good speck components, Shimano Deore derauillers and Sram Truvatic Crank. Hydrolic Brakes and Discs. These will stop you instantly and do tare a little time to get used to or a flight over the bars could come along. These sqeak when covered in Muck and Water for the first few occasions, but when used this disapates. Wheels are Alex DP17 rims, Strong, Maxxis Ingnitor Tyres Grip like hell. Suntour XCR forks are ok for Cross Country riding, Not a great Jump fork, but hey Im no Jumper! (I think that if yoiu are lighter than me you could have some safe landings with these...

A Tour of La Tour

Advantages: Great views, beautiful at night
Disadvantages: Not good if you're frightened of heights, there are better views of the city,

...around a corner and the Tour Eiffel stood majestically before him. Ah oui... Histoire de la Tour Eiffel There's something magical about the Tour Eiffel. It's become the symbol of Paris, the symbol of France itself, and yet it was never meant to stand for more than a year. It was originally supposed to be erected in Barcelona, but plans designed by Gustave Eiffel were rejected. Construction finally began in Paris, where the tower was to create an entrance archway for the Exposition Universelle in 1889. 120 years later...and the Eiffel Tower continues to stand the test of time, despite being branded an eyesore by many of the great French names of the day. One of its greatest critics was Guy de Maupassant, the French writer who allegedly dined at one of the Eiffel Tower's restaurant every day as it was the only place in Paris where he...

taking the tour

Advantages: accessories, ease of use, price
Disadvantages: for some the size might be a put-off

...has a clock and temperature reader. At any point in my journey I can just look down and check the time or when standing outside the school I can know just who cold it is! The wheels turn easily and smoothly. It used to be that some 4-wheel buggies were hard to navigate but this one has no trouble turning a corner. Just to give you an idea I was in town today with my usual Starbucks in one hand and piloting the buggy with the other. I purchased my Graco travel system from Babies R Us for £260 and there was a promotion to get the £100 accessories pack free. There are various Quattro Tour systems and at very different prices. I think the cheapest of which is around £150. The accessories pack made it so I had the buggy itself, the car seat, one car base, changing bag, foot cosy, carrycot attachment, and rain cover. Was a great deal and I saw...

Grand Tour of LA!

Advantages: get to see lots in short space of time
Disadvantages: don't get much time in each place

...VIP Tours of California - Grand Tour of Los Angeles On my way home from my GAP year away my husband and I decided to stop in LA. We stayed in a Holliday Inn hotel near LAX, once we arrived here we found a brochure on VIP Tours and decided to go on what they call the most popular tour which was called the 'Grand Tour of Los Angeles'. It cost in American dollars $59 (adult) and $40 (child). One American dollar is roughly equal to roughly 0.6 United Kingdom Pounds. It was very easy to book this tour with the representative in our hotel for the next day. We had a few different times we could have chosen to go on out tour. On the morning of the tour a bus lifted us at the hotel and took us to their offices so we could pay for the tour and change buses to start the tour. This annoyed me slightly as I felt that we were wasting my...

Review of Hollywood VIP tours (Grand Tour of LA)

Tour de Northumberland

Advantages: Lightweight, sturdy, stylish and very versatile
Disadvantages: Expensive

...My brother and I had a flimsy agreement in youth to share a bike so we could get a better more expensive model instead of two more inferior ones. Once our parents bought the BMX Mongoose you didn?t see my brother and his mates for dust all summer. Twenty years on, last year, he suggested the same principle. I had wanted to buy a bike for some time for short journeys to the next village instead of using the car. We decided on the Marin San Raphael at a cost of £425 from the North East dealer in Gateshead for Marin. With it being a joint purchase we had to buy a bike that was suitable for both of us. The San Raphael is classed as a hybrid touring bike and a unisex model; however, I do believe it?s more of a male bike with the high crossbar. I have always preferred the more sturdy looking bikes anyway compared to the ?ladies...

Review of Marin San Rafael City Bike

A wheelie good toddler bike

Advantages: Small cheap, good quality
Disadvantages: no brakes

...A child’s first sized pushbike, with stabilisers, squeaky horn and clip on basket. Adjustable handlebars and seat, suitable for children from approximately 2 to 4 years. Manufactured by Universal and costing around £30 from large toyshops such as Toys”r”us. My 2 year old was desperate for her own “big girls bike” with two wheels and stabilisers. I looked at many, most of which were above £50, as I didn’t have as much as that to spend, I homed in on this jazzy little bike initially sold in Index. After realising that they were from the old stock and that they were not in the catalogue, the pleasant assistant offered to go out to the back of the store to see if there were any still lurking in the warehouse. Perfect, one left, and as it was old stock at an unmissable price of £22...

Review of Bicycles

I bought a GIANT bicycle!

Advantages: Price, Components, Performance
Disadvantages: Lack of "street-cred"

...When I was little, I got a TCR racing set for Christmas. In those heady days, TCR stood for "Total Control Racing". Something like a Scalectrix, but without the slots, so the cars could change lanes. In July of this year, I bought a new bike, a road-racing bike from the Chinese manufacturer "Giant". It too is called TCR, but this time round I've no idea what it stands for. What I do know is that, for the money, it's a fine piece of machinery and over the next virtual page or two, I'll tell you exactly why. Spurred back on to my bike, after more than 10 years of neglect, by a declining level of fitness and an expanding waist-line, I started riding again at the beginning of this year. For the first 6 months I rode my mountain bike on the roads of Essex in an attempt to get fit. My fitness did improve, but every weekend I would be...

A True Magical Mystery Tour!

Advantages: Some good visual aids, fab music and mildly comical
Disadvantages: A lot of rubbish that is hard to ignore...

...THE BEATLES: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR WHERE THIS FITS INTO MY BEATLEMANIA MONTH OF MAY: Possibly the greatest failure of the bands career?! (Please note that this is a 'Film Only' review, hopefully displayed in the right section!) It is pretty fair to say that up and until the December of 1967, everything the Beatles touched turned to gold; they'd had over ten number one singles in the UK and albums to add to their resumes with two pretty comical yet critically acclaimed movies. 'A Hard Days Night' and 'Help!' may seem as if they lack plot and depth but in essence what held them together was undeniably the bands music and obvious dry, witty sense of humour. Yet, I don't think anybody was quite prepared for the bands third movie release. 'Magical Mystery Tour', broadcast for the first time on television on Boxing Day 1967, was...

Review of The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (DVD)

Guitar Hero: On Tour

Advantages: Brilliant portabillity lets the rock demon inside of you play where ever he wants.
Disadvantages: Unfortunaly your hands start to hurt after long playing hours.

...Guitar Hero on the Nintendo DS? Yes Vicarious Visions have finally brought this classic to the Nintendo DS in the form of Guitar Hero: On Tour. After the success of their other games on the big consoles will Guitar Hero still be a hit on the DS? In my opinion yes it will. After playing the game solidly for the last week, I still havent died from repetitive boredom which is more than i can say about a few recent releases on the Nintendo DS. The sound of Guitar Hero is actually pretty impressive considering your playing on a handheld console. Even though I said that it had good audio quality you obviously cant compare it to, for instance the PS3 verison. Guitar Hero: On Tour's tracklist consists of 26 songs, most of which are new to the series. Most of On Tour's songs are performed by the original artists with only a few being cover...

Review of Guitar Hero: On Tour (Nintendo DS)

Was 'satisfaction guaranteed' on this Magical Mystery Tour?

Advantages: A brief insight into the home city of the Fab Four
Disadvantages: A little rushed; it wasn't as interesting or as inviting as I was hoping it would be

...?When a man ? or woman ? buys a ticket for the Magical Mystery Tour, they know what to expect; we guarantee them a trip of a lifetime, and that?s what they get ? the incredible Magical Mystery Tour!? Indeed, you should have an idea what to expect when you sign up for the Magical Mystery Tour; having seen the movie a good couple of times, with zany skits of nonsense pushing the boundaries of surrealism to the very limit, I became rather excitable when I discovered that Liverpool?s tourism industry had manufactured a sightseeing event of the same name. Liverpool?s interpretation of the Magical Mystery Tour offered Beatlemaniacs of all ages the opportunity to ride around on a replica bus from the 1967 film whilst uncovering some of The Beatles deepest, darkest secrets in their home city. Or alternatively, you?ll find out where John...
