I am a sixth grader. I have recently read the book Artemis Fowl. It was written by Eoin Colfer. This book is about a 12 to 13 year old boy who tries to figure out the lives of Fairies and Sprites. He is a criminal mastermind. He has a buff bodyguard for a butler; Artemis calls him Butler. Butler’s sister, Julie, is a maid at Artmesis’ mansion. Artmeis lives in the mansion with his sick mother. Commander Root is the Captain of all the fairies. Holly Short is the best trained fairy of them all. Sprites are basically the same thing as fairies. Sprites and Fairies normally die at around the same age, 2500 years. Throughout this book, they mainly just introduce the main characters. Artmeis tries to catch Holly Short to find out information about important fairy files. He does catch Holly Short and finds out a lot more about fairies. Root almost fired Holly Short for telling Artmeis about the important information about the fairy files. Artmeis took Holly’s fairy dust. Little did he know, that particular dust was not just ordinary dust. This was “fairy magic” dust. The bottle that contains the magic, said that the dust could heal human beings. Artemis began thinking that this magic dust might be able to heal his sick mother…

well…as much as one can love a scale. I like the fact that you only have to calibrate once when you first put it down – which means you only have to step on it once for an accurate weigh. Easy to use and easy to read. I think this is a quality product and I am totally thrilled with my purchase.

Ordered two of these helmets. One for myself and one for my wife. They were just as we expected and we are completely satisfied with them. I would recommend this product to others.

When it works, it’s great. But my batteries have only lasted one week, tops, on average. Even with very fresh batteries! Disappointing, even if I got it at Wal-Mart for $15. Get another light.

Last time I purchased Microsoft Office, Outlook was part of the package. I was very disappointed that it no longer comes with the office package. I waited a month to receive the software. I had to get in touch with the people that were suppose to send it two or three times before they sent the product. It is definately not worth the purchase price.

Great bike for the price. I received the bike today and wasn’t sure what to expect from a $235 road bike. I was pleasantly surprised. The bike has an appealing look with its blue and silver paint job. These colors don’t combine to have the most expensive look to them but Schwinn Prelude Mens Road Bike looks better in reality than the pictures on the internet which I didn’t think were to bad in the first place.
The bike was a good size for me and I am 5″11. The parts that were already assembled needed tweaking, tightening and checking. The additional parts like the front wheel, front caliper, handlebars and shifters you will have to install. This is easily done by following the easily explained steps in the manual. Getting the wheels to turn smoothly without catching the break pads is what took most of the time setting up the bike.
When I was assembling the bike I found the positioning of the shifters to be inconvenient, they just take up too much room on the handlebars and would require a whole body straightening movement to get to them from the normal riding position. The shifters are attractive with there thumb up and down plastic control switches; they also shift smoothly; these are not the worst Shimano have to offer. The aluminum band that ties them on to the handlebars looks cheap. The other cheap looking parts of the bike are the pedals and the seat is cheap. It has little to offer in padding and I will upgrade that this month.
For now the Schwinn is the most reasonable bike on the market. In a year or two if I get into road biking more I could see myself upgrading because there is a noticeable weight difference between this bike at 25lbs and a $700 Trek 1000 which I just know by lifting it is lighter. However, this bike is 3 times cheaper and all I need to get myself fit.
First Look at Schwinn 220 Recumbent Bike. Please note that this review is written based on only ONE WEEK of use, so Schwinn 220 Recumbent Exercise Bike can’t possibly address performance over the long term. If I remember to, I’ll come back in a few months and give a more complete review.
First, the machine was shipped promptly and arrived on time. The package was somewhat damaged, but all the bike parts arrived in good condition. It appears to me that the Chinese manufacturer packaged the bike for containerized shipment, and not for individual transport. Nevertheless, all was okay.
Assembly is straight-forward. I was interrupted (neighbor’s horses got out), but total assembly time was probably about one hour, working alone. Note that I’m an experienced assembler, having put together many wagons, carts, bikes, trikes, etc. in the wee hours of Christmas morning. Also note that Step 5 (page 11) calls for REMOVING the seat rail bracket; the bracket on my bike WAS NOT already installed, and, not reading the instruction, I installed the bracket, as that’s what the diagram suggested. No big deal, but you’ll have to remove it later. Other than that glitch, all went smoothly. By the way, all the tools that you will need are included in the package – nice touch.
With only one week’s use, the machine has been absolutely silent in operation; I certainly hope that continues. By default, the bike starts at intensity level 3. Stepping up to level 4 is detectable but not severe. Further steps seem to increase resistance at a higher level.
I cannot grasp the front handle bars while sitting with my back against the backrest; in fact I can barely touch them with my finger tips. To grasp the handles I must lean forward. Not a biggie, but I would prefer them to be located in front of the electronic display, rather than behind it.
As to the electronic panel, it appears to me that the MPH shown is high; at 80 RPMs it registers 16 miles per hour, while my old bike showed 13 MPH. The display registers about 25 calories per mile at resistance level 4. The heart rate monitor shows about 5 beats per minute higher than my Polar unit, but I can’t say for sure which one is closer.
I do not like the way the “time” feature changes between “elapsed time” and a one-minute countdown display at 6-second intervals – I would prefer it to stay on the elapsed time screen. If there is a way to reset this feature I haven’t been able to find it.
Also, my old bike stopped the elapsed-time clock whenever I quit pedaling, but this one continues to run – a stop to answer the doorbell reflected 5 minutes of exercise time while I was away.
I have not used any of the programmed workout programs, because I exercise at 78-82 RPMs for 30 minutes, varying pedal resistance during the workout (I’m a 70-year-old male, and I’m not trying to build endurance.)
The “magazine rack” is merely a small ledge. It will hold a magazine, I suppose, but I place my very small MP3 player on it. I don’t believe that some of the larger players would stay on the ledge.
I knew this before I ordered the bike, so I can’t really complain, but I would much prefer the display unit to be powered by a battery, as my old bike was. The Schwinn 220 must be plugged into an AC outlet – without electricity you don’t get any readouts, and can’t vary resistance.
The Schwinn 220 seems to be pretty stout, and my overall impression, at this point, is favorable. If it continues to function like it does now, I’ll be pleased with my purchase. Time will tell
Schwinn 240 is GREAT!. I just purchased the Schwinn 240. It is the first exercise bike I have ever owned but have used others my friends had. This machine is light years ahead of what I’ve used before.
After having tried other brands I settled on this one due to how well Schwinn 240 Recumbent Exercise Bike is constructed, ease of use etc.
I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because the instructions as to how to use it to get the most out of it SUCK! I wrote the company concerning this. It was *kind of* easy to initially set it up. (Don’t set it up for Guest if you are the primary user or it won’t save your workouts.) It is alot of guess work for me to go from going to my name then getting to the actual workout screen.
I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually but, why should I have to? That should be Schwinn’s responsibility to have already figured it out for me to make my life a little more simpler!
Also, all the parts to put it together come on two pieces of card board with plastic over them to keep them in place. There are numbers etc. under each nut and bolt but none of these letters and numbers match up with the book to put the machine together. You have to figure that out for yourself by looking at the pictures in the book. Another Schwinn blunder. They could very easily have put a number under each nut and put that **same** number in the book.
Other than these blunders, I really love the machine and am getting lots of use from it! I hope to have it many years and extend my quality of life for many years to come.
Schwinn, get a clue. We don’t want to learn this machine by trial and error. Put together a better manual on how to use this machine. Don’t make me have to put one together for you!
great bike for the money!. i bought this bike for my girlfriend, and for the amount ~$250 Schwinn Volare 700C Flat Bar Mens Road Bike can’t be beat. it needed just a little adjustment to the derailers but that is normal for any new bike. since then it’s been running great and has needed nothing! nice lightweight wheels and very decent entry level components make this a great value for the money, and the flat bar is very comfortable for city cruising!
best tricycle we could find. We did a lot of research and found this to be the best tricycle available. Easy to put together, looks good.
