Needs a little work

Champion 22 Metal Tree Target

Champion 22 Metal Tree Target

This delightful book illustrates that there is no better place from which to see the world than from the seat of a bicycle (in my own situation, this would have to translate to seeing the world from the driver's seat of a rental car). As Mr Enfield so clearly illustrates, getting to know a new place and meeting some amazing people involves more than sitting on a tour bus, snapping photos.
Mr Enfield's writing shares an appreciation of the kind people he meets and the places he visits. He can point out odd behaviors without sounding cynical and he seems to know when to toss the map aside and head off the beaten path, something we all should do from time to time.
I've read this book several times, always wishing there were more. Mr Enfield has become one of my favorite authors and makes me wish I could follow in his tracks when I retire.

PERFECT !!

Body Champ BRM3671 Cardio Trainer

Let me say that I am no spring chicken and when it arrived on my front porch, I almost sent it back unopened - a huge, heavy box. I did drag it in to the house and opened the box to find a myriad of pieces. Not having an ounce of mechanical ability, I figured there was no way I would be able to assemble the thing. For the heck of it, I looked at the directions--well, the first step didn't look too hard, so I gave it a try, then step 2, etc. I must say that these were the clearest directions that I have ever seen and all the screws, bolts, etc. were sort of shrink wrapped on two cards, with a picture, number and name. They could not have made it any easier. As far as the performance of the machine, it does what it is supposed to do and I am very pleased with it. I only wish the manufacturer would have included a magic bottle of energy so I could work out more than 10 minutes at a time. :-)

A Movie in the Making..."Thoughts to Die For"

Thoughts To Die For Volume

Thoughts To Die For Volume

Bought this for my Sister in law who has some diabilities and is unable to drive a car. She was depressed that she couldn't get around on her own or was limited by the distance because she had to walk unless we took her. She now goes all over town and picks up groceries, her medications goes shopping,etc... She has her independance back... I have a piece of mind because of the quality of the bike... I bought a trike from wal-mart for the same money and after bringing it home, took it back the same day because it was junk. I got on amazon and within minutes found this trike. I am very particular on quality and this manufacture put quality and safety first on their list... I am impressed not to mention the price was spectacular. The bike did have some scratches on the side of it and was missing a small fender bolt but I was so pleased with the quality I didn't even care... Thanks Amazon!

Very good winter cycling wear

Bicycle Cycling Shorts Pants Extra

Bicycle Cycling Shorts Pants Extra

Found the Schwinn Legacy cruiser at Target, fully assembled. I was attracted by the awesome vintage look and the fact that it's a single speed cruiser with coaster brakes (brakes that operate by pedaling backward) like the bikes I had as a kid. Exactly what I wanted as an adult who hasn't ridden a bike in a couple of decades, and wants to get one for fitness and for cutting back on use of my car for things like grocery shopping. It didn't hurt that it had the lowest price tag of Target's cruiser bikes, either.

I absolutely love my Legacy! It rides well and is a great workhorse. I've gotten compliments on the vintage look. Only issue I had was that I had to borrow an allen wrench from a co-worker so I could tighten the handlebars, but that's hardly the bike's fault. Big box store employees who assemble these bikes most likely aren't bicycle experts, so it's a good idea to give the bike a good once-over before going for your first spin on it.

For what it is - an inexpensive, basic cruiser - the Legacy is an awesome bike.
