I bought this bike for my 4 year old daughter. She loves the bike. It was easy to assemble. It took about 15 minutes. The bike has both a hand brake on the handle bars and a pedal brake, however, my daughter’s can’t reach the hand brake. Since it can’t be adjusted, she can only use the pedal brake. Overall, the bikes seems to be of good quality and I am happy with my purchase.
The bike arrived in a box that was really beat up. The box was partially ripped in some spots and on one side a portion of the bike was sticking through the box. Once I took the bike out and started to assemble it I realized that the bike was damaged. One of the lug nuts that held the front wheel in place was partially crushed. Obviously, this bike fell from a height onto concrete or something very heavy fell on it to do that kind of damage. I sent the bike back and then had to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. The replacement came and the box was not in much better shape. I examined the new bike closely and found no real damage, but there were some scratches in the paint, most visibly on the handlebars. So, bike was also handled improperly in the shipping and handling process. I decided to keep the bike in spite of the scratches because I had wasted enough time getting to this point and hadn’t found a nice bike at a local retailer for the same price.
I have had nothing but good experiences dealing with Amazon over the years. Customer service was helpful and responsive in this case. However, after reading some of the other reviews, I saw that many other people have had problems with the packaging and shipping of this bike. I would recommend the bike, but beware of the shipping and condition of the bike when you get it. Be prepared to send it back for another one becasue there is a good chance it will arrive damaged.

I saw numerous plot holes in this book, even though the premise is interesting and maybe even had some potential. For the most part, I didn’t find the characters all that believable which made me not care too much about what happened to them. Bella is negative, mopey and weak. For some inexplicable reason, everybody seems to like her and wants to be her friend but she has zero personality. In real life, people would probably just ignore her and/or dislike her. Nobody would ask her to social functions and certainly wouldn’t be begging to take her to the prom. She pathetic because she continuously pines for Edward and doesn’t seem to have much of a life without him. I honestly think she’s taken feminism back 50 years.
I would expect Edward, being a 100 year old vampire, to be much more worldly and mature. Certainly, somebody with that much living would not be attracted to someone as vacant as Bella. I honestly don’t see the attraction here. Edward is also controlling and moody, not the most attractive traits you’d find in a man. Plus I find it creepy and stalker-like that he sits in her room while she sleeps, without her even knowing!! I also don’t understand that if you’re a vampire who can do whatever you want, why would you keep on going to high school? Wouldn’t you…oh, I don’t know…do ANYTHING else?
This story could have been told in a hundred pages rather than over 400. Too wordy, too many inane details that didn’t really add to the story…overused adjectives, etc. Character development was minimal, and I didn’t much identify with the characters.
The reason I give this a 2 star rating is because it did draw me in enough to keep reading. I liked it for the sole reason that I could shut my brain off before going to bed and it was nice to not have to read too carefully for fear of missing anything. I could scan 2 or 3 pages without missing any important information in the plot. If you want a simple read with some suspense, this is good for th

Excellent space saver – high quality. I am very pleased with this purchase. We bought three of these bike lifts. The Bike lift is of high quality and is an ease to put up. It is a joy to get my garage floor back.

an OK bike. It is an inexpensive bike! Shifting does leave something to be desired. Back axle has a slight bend. Didn’t come with the pedals. I tried to call service but no one returned answers. Too bad, Disney Princess Girls Bike doesn’t look like a bad bike, ride is good.
