Apollo AV-2 Evolution Diver Propulsion Vehicle (SLA) Review

Apollo AV-2 Evolution Diver Propulsion Vehicle (SLA)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned three AV-1 over the last 15 years and have probably logged over 2,000 dives since I started diving. These scooters are both practical and fun. They can even get you out of a sticky situation from time to time. I rarely dive without one of my scooters these days as I have grown so accustomed to them. They are extremely durable and easy to operate. I dive in south Florida and typically dive between 8'-150' in high current drift dives. The AV-1 is simple and a great tool for these dives when lobstering. The AV-2 Evo has a longer burn time and comes with a saddle for hands free diving. The AV-2 also has a battery life indicator which consists of a three color LED on the nose of the cover.
Plus:
durable
improves bottom time (reduce air consumption)
cover way more bottom
no more CO2 headaches!
improves safety (if used correctly)
Negative:
cost between $1900 - $3800 depending on model (but worth it)
requires some mechanical know how
DO NOT USE FOR ASCENT!!!
Your friends will want to borrow it all the time!
Tips:
attach a SS snap clip to front handle for drift line with hook
make a cradle for transporting in truck or boat (they roll and slide)
keep o-rings clean and lubed
don't let friends borrow it - they will break it or not give it back!
keep battery full charged
get the NiMh battery - you will be happy you did!

Planet Bike Seat Leash Bicycle Security Cable (3mm x 24-Inches) Review

Planet Bike Seat Leash Bicycle Security Cable (3mm x 24-Inches)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a nice good quality study cable which is the perfect size to secure your seat without being in the way. You can attach it to your bike in such a way so it will wrap around itself and the seat and not need an additional lock. The diagram is on the planet bike plastic tag attached to the cable when you receive it. I live in the city and I hate the thought of coming out to get my bike and the seat is gone. This is cheap insurance against that happening.

Keep your saddle from wandering away when parking in a risky area with the Seat Leash from Planet Bike. Designed to secure your saddle and seat post to your bike frame, the security cable measures 24 inches long by 2.5 mm thick and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
About Planet Bike In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Bell Faction Allan Cooke Multi-Sport Helmet Review

Bell Faction Allan Cooke Multi-Sport Helmet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this helmet online, because I was unable to find anything I liked in local sporting goods stores. I commute to work by bicycle, and this helmet offers good protection, and a comfortable fit. This is a multi-sport helmet as opposed to a standard bicycle helmet. With any helmet, you will get a case of "helmet hair", and this product is no exception, but that is the price you have to pay for safety. I like the style and green color of this helmet, even if I do feel a bit like an Israeli commando every time I put it on. If you spend any time on a bicycle, a good helmet is absolutely essential gear, and I recommend this helmet very highly.

Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 Elliptical Trainer with Seat Review

Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 Elliptical Trainer with Seat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really loved that this item was both a bike and an elliptical machine, at such an awesome price. I wasn't very certain that it would be sturdy, etc because it is so inexpensive. But I am pleasantly surprised. However, the only reason that I am rating this four stars is that it took me three hours to put together. The directions are extremely hard to follow.

Enjoy a total body workout without leaving the home with this Confidence two-in-one elliptical cross trainer and exercise bike. Designed to provide a low-impact cardiovascular workout for all family members regardless of ability level, the trainer is ideal for event training, rehabilitation, and plain-old cardio fitness. At first glance, the unit resembles a standard elliptical trainer, with a pair of footpads that move in a natural elliptical motion, along with a set of arm poles that move in conjunction with your legs. The smooth, fluid movement will tone your arms, chest, back, hips, legs, and glutes while providing a low-impact workout that's five times as efficient as walking. The trainer's a step above most units, however, thanks to the addition of an adjustable seat, which adds more variety to your workouts. As a result, you can turn your trainer into an upright exercise bike and exercise while standing or sitting. The trainer also strides in both forward and reverse to add even more variety.
The Confidence trainer includes an adjustable resistance dial to keep you challenged, along with a four-function onboard computer that tracks your time, speed, distance, and calories. And at 34 by 60 by 24 inches (W x H x D), the trainer won't take up a ton of room in your basement or garage. The Confidence two-in-one trainer offers a maximum capacity of 250 pounds and weighs 65 pounds by itself.

Morgan Cycle Morgan Retro 14" Bicycle - Red Review

Morgan Cycle Morgan Retro 14 Bicycle - Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bike is not cheap. It's not cheap like a Mercedes isn't cheap. It's not cheap like a Lexus isn't cheap. It's not cheap because they have taken the time and used the materials necessary to build a bike that is going to make a lasting impression on every kid who rides it and every kid who sees it driving by.
Basically this bike is wonderful. It has spring suspension, an LED light and steel framing and materials. The gears and such seem strong and reliable. The paint looks (and feels) to be all powdercoating and real chroming (though it could be stainless steel). The main attraction is, of course, the styling and it looks as good in person as it seems to look on Amazon. I'm not sure if eventually replacing the white tires when they eventually wear down might be an issue, but that's about the only negative thing I could see about it.

Sleek as a classic Italian motorbike, this sweet retro bike is made of handcrafted steel and features a chromed front fork with functional suspension, a supple leatherette seat, a charming battery operated LED headlight, adjustable handlebar and seat, include rear luggage rack, and durable chromed steel spoke wheels with air tires. The removable training wheels with wide stance make this an excellent first bike. Requires three "AAA" batteries, not included. Measures 38"L x 20"W x 25"H.

Shimano PD-M424 SPD Pedal (9/16-Inch, Black/Silver) Review

Shimano PD-M424 SPD Pedal (9/16-Inch, Black/Silver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree with a couple of other reviews. These are called dual use and it says you don't need to clip in. This is true. I agree that it is not as comfortable to ride when you aren't clipped in (I actually use a softer shoe when I don't clip in and I'm just running a quick errand). These are heavy but I don't notice that on my mountain bike.
I like being able to clip in on both sides so I can just step on my pedals and go and if you are like me then this is probably for you. If you don't mind making sure the pedal is on the proper side then you might be happier with a different pedal.
I find it MUCH easier to unclip by turning my heel in and have to adjust the pedals nearly as loose as possible.
