Great lil Set, February 12, 2010
I bought this for a trip to the Cayman islands. The set arrived quickly, without the bag. However, there was a hand written note saying they were out of them and would I accept another bag free of charge (they will ship it when they get them). A nice touch. The quality is excellent. I recommend using straight dish soap on the inside to remove the film and then treat with a product called "spit". A good deal and high quality. The seller is awesome! Thanks

Solid Light Set, February 14, 2010
These are some of the best commuter lights I use. They are simple. I am a student, and efficiency and safety are key. I keep the lights in my backpack, and when the time come to commute home, I just throw these in the very well designed handle bar mounts. Depending on your legs and seat post, the rear light can hit your hamstring every time you pedal. I took it off since it's not required by law.

Sports equipment > LED Bicycle Light

Whether you're a 24-hour racer or a super commuter, the Planet Bike Beamer 3 bicycle light will keep your path well lit. The Beamer 3 is equipped with three white Nichia eXtreme v2.0 LEDs, which not only illuminate your way after the sun has gone down, but also make you visible to passing cars or pedestrians. In addition, the light attaches securely to your bike thanks to the Quick Cam bracket mounts, which adjust or remove in seconds without tools. The Beamer 3--which offers up to 100 hours of run-time on two AA batteries (included)--boasts both flashing and steady modes and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Best LED light I own (and I have 6), January 7, 2010
This light is the best LED light I own, especially for only 3 LEDs. The pattern of light is like a spot light and is bright and white. I can see trail details in a approximate 15 foot circle in detail at least 20 feet out, and larger details like trees, cars, etc. out to about 50'. It is also very easy to install, and stays in place well no matter the amount of bounce (I ride a mountain/comfort bike). I Like that when you want to remove it, you can either slide the light off the mount easily, or if you wanted to mount it on another bike, the quick release clip is just a "flick" away from release.
Aside from the solid mount where you can easily remove the light for using the light to assist will fixing a flat at night, I love how solid the light is. Most of my other LED lights have an issue with the rear spring the batteries make connection with, and if bounced around, the light will flicker. This one does not.
If I have a failure with the original (I used this light all last year without even replacing the batteries), I will replace it with the same make and model.

Surprisingly comfortable!, November 6, 2009
I expected a nightmare during the "break-in" period but these skates are actually very comfortable! They are way better than the crappy rentals at the ice rink. If you're considering these skates, I definitely recommend them. By the way, someone suggested buying one size small. I'm not sure what to say about that except that I wear a size 7 normally and size 7 in these skates was perfect for me.

Sports > System Arms with Controller > Slendertone

Enjoy firm and toned arms within four to eight weeks with the Slendertone System Arms. The easy-to-use upper arm toner employs Slendertone's patented Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to create strong, deep, comfortable contractions in your muscles.

As a result, you simply have to wear the System Arms five times a week for four to eight weeks to tone and hone your triceps without trudging to the gym on a regular basis. Equipped with three training programs and a hand-held controller, the System Arms can tone both arms at once using up to 99 intensity levels. There's no better way for your upper body to look its best. The System Arms fit upper arm sizes from 8.7 to 14.6 inches.

Sports > Inversion Therapy Table

Inversion therapy counteracts the forces of gravity on the body (particularly the back) by decompressing and elongating the spine. Not only can this relieve pressure on your spinal cord's ligaments and nerve roots, but it can also relax the back muscles that support the vertebrae. And when your back relaxes, the rest of your body invariably follows. The Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Therapy Table can make a great addition to your daily routine, and help to improve your circulation and posture while relieving muscle aches, back pain, and stress.
Product Features:
+Deluxe dual-pin adjustment system with height range of 4' 7" to 6' 8"
+Inversion therapy table for elongating spine and relaxing back muscles
+Lower spring-loaded pull pin for easy ankle adjustments; 250-pound capacity

It works GREAT!, November 20, 2009
I agree with the other review...this works GREAT! My upper arms have become more and more flabby over the years, and within just a few weeks, I see a shocking improvement. I also do the 6 minute workout daily (because of the positive results, I am very motivated to keep doing it), and mostly while watching TV, since it's an easy routine to remember. I also take it on vacation with me, since it doesn't take up that much room. I've seen the absurd comments about it being suggestive, but honestly, don't most exercises look silly when you're doing them? This works great, and I was convince to buy it because the main site offers to not only return the purchase and shipping price, but pay for return shipping if you wanted to return it. 

Sports > YogaAccessories

At 6.2mm, the Yoga-accessories Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat is a full 1/4'' thick, an extra long 74'', weighs almost 4 lbs, and is one of the thickest mats on the market. The mats come in a variety of colors that are strong and vivacious, but not overpowering in their brightness. This well-made exercise mat will add comfort to your yoga workouts. And because of its high quality, this deluxe mat will last longer than most standard foam mats. When shopping around for a yoga mat, note that what many other companies call a 1/4'' mat is actually 4.5 - 5.2 mm in thickness -- considerably thinner than this mat. These ''knock-off'' mats are shorter and weigh less, indicative of their inferior quality. A thicker non-slip mat is good for all types of yoga, especially for restorative poses. Reward yourself and your body with an Extra Thick Deluxe Yoga Mat, and see why this is the most popular sticky mat found in yoga studios, schools, fitness clubs, and at home!
Product Features:
+Extra thick (6.2 mm, which is 1/4'')
+Weighs 3.6 lbs (vs 3.0 lbs offered by other suppliers)
+Textured, non-slip surface
+Limited lifetime warranty
+Extra long 74'' x 24'' wide

Very good mat, February 27, 2007
The thickness of this mat is very comfortable. It's much better than the 1/8" mat which I find it too thin. This 1/4" mat gives me enough padding when I sit, and it doesn't throw me off balance when I stand. I also like the length of this mat which is 4" longer than the standard size mat. It's so good to have so much room to stretch when I lay down. Item arrived within the delivery estimate time. Very prompt service.

Excellent bike goggles, November 29, 2009
I bike next to strawberry fields on my way to work. The smell is wonderful but the dust in my eyes isn't. I've tried a variety of eye protection ideas until I found these. Not only do they completely keep the dust out of my eyes, they stay clear no matter how hard I pedal. When I bought them, I also purchased some anti-fogging spray but after 6 10-mile rides, I still haven't needed the spray.
The head band is very wide and after I properly adjusted it, the goggles barely pressed on my face and remained in place even when the ride gets really bumpy.
The big surprise was how much warmer my face is in 30 degree weather. Whether heat becomes a problem in the summer remains to be seen but right now, it's a god send.
I may look like a bike geek riding to work but the key thing is I'm comfortable and I can see

Excellent commuter bike for women, January 16, 2010
This is really a great bike, and I've owned some great bikes. It does not come with model specific instructions, but it's not to difficult for anyone who has ever raised or lowered a seat or handlebars or changed a flat tire. Be sure to have your allen wrenches ready. You will have to put on the handlebars, the front fender and wheel, the seat and the pedals (I added toe clips to my pedals). This is a good solid commuter bike for the price.
