Schwinn Ridge AL Men's Mountain Bike Review

My wife and I purchased this bike and the "women's versions" of this bike together as a Christmas gift to one another. First, I am 37 years-old and disabled. I needed a bike that is light, yet strong enough to handle my 250lb + frame. Well, this bike is light due to all the aluminum parts that make up the bike and it is the aluminum that gives the bike it strength as well. The bike was a breeze to unpack and set up. Once again, I am disabled, I do not have the strength to manipulate cumbersome items... and this truly was not a cumbersome task! One hour tops from UPS Truck to being able to ride it up my street and back. During the easy and very short set up process, I had time to admire the welds and other artisanship details... I found no flaws. The bike was put together well at the factory. There were no scratches from the assembly line. The welds appear uniform (which is an excellent sign of a good weld). If I have one complaint, it would be the seat... Oh my gosh, that seat! Like I said earlier, I am 37 years old and 250lb +, the seat on this bike is not meant for a large buttock as mine! I think a vertical "Wiffle Ball Bat" would have been more comfortable than this wedge of a seat. I was one bump away from a Proctologist appointment! I am going to remove the seat and install one of those "farm tracker seats"... you know, the ones with the giant coil springs under the copious amount of foam covered in heavy duty 'all weather' fake leather covering! Yea, the Schwinn seat has to go!

Schwinn Meridian Adult 26-Inch 3-Wheel Bike

This bike is wonderful! i get stopped on the street all the time asking where I got it. I am 45 years old. Young enough to ride a bike, but 12 years ago was diagnosed with MS. I can not balance a traditional 2 wheel bike and was not happy with the three wheel grampa looking bikes. This was the perfect solution. Its not too big and the wheels are closer together so its style is very attractive. It was delivered promptly by 5 pm. My husband was able to assemble the bike in time for us to ride off to our local diner for a hot meal by 6pm. This bike has very good brakes and the handle bar promots comfortable positioning. The folding basket in the back is never closed. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so rain or no rain is an hour to hour guess. My family puts a back pack and light weather jackets in the back and we are good to go. I would encourage anyone that has a problem with balance but can still peddle and wants to keep up with other family members going on bike rides, to buy this bike and join in the fun. We use our bikes everyday now and I get to go too.

Schwinn Roadster 12-Inch Trike (Multiple Colors)

I purchased this trike for a four-year-old's birthday gift. I hesitated as many other reviews said this was for a younger child, but it got such raves that I took the plunge and made the purchase. I'm so glad I did!

The look on this kid's face when he unwrapped the box was priceless - such pure joy. He's been riding it endlessly.

We live on a ranch with rough dirt roads, so many of the other "Big Wheel" type bikes we looked at were inadequate for our ranch roads, and a 2-wheeled bike with training wheels was too unsteady on the rough roads. The Schwinn Roadster rides beautifully on dirt roads.

Reasons we love it:
- It sits low to the ground so won't tip over like conventional tricycles.
- The seat has a back on it to keep child from sliding backwards.
- Real bicycle tires make for a smoother ride and grip the road.
- Chrome fenders, bright paint, streamers on handles and wooden running board make the bike look so cool!

If your child is too young for a 2-wheeled bike, the Schwinn Roadster is definitely worth consideration.
I highly recommend this bike.
