Do you recommend this bike to a student who rides his bike to school every day?

Nope, I had one for a period of time. It's super hard to find the tubes for deep-V walls, with the regular tires it will be extremely inconvinient to fix it [ at the rate of 1 flat tire a month, average].

yes. this is a great looking, good quality bike to ride. its a road bike, so I would say you would get the best performance on a bike path. don't ride this bike on bike trails or bumpy road.

This bike is a fixed gear bike. I bought this bike for my grandson, he wanted one and loves it. He is 18 years old. If you under stand how this bike performs, then you might like it. he rides with out brakes, and loves to go very fast.

I think it would be great! A bit too big and a little heavy to carry around to classes all day, but great if you want a good solid computer that can stay in one place most of the time. Just my opinion!

I bought this bike for my then 7 y/o daughter. She had moved up from a bike that required training wheels. I would recommend a smaller bike that comes with training wheels before purchasing this one.

My son is 11 and LOVES this bike. It's not really that fast. He does take it off road and it does well on hills and through thick grass.

YES! 100%. We love it and got ours for our 3 year old. He is 4 now and still rides it. I'd say it has another year at least worth of riding! We love this bike. It's cute and made well.

I own this bike and i'm obsessed with it. That being said, I commute around the Greater NYCArea CONSTANTLY. I went over the Brooklyn bridge (pretty inclined) the other day and found it to be very difficult (being a one speed bike). If you know you will be dealing with hills frequently I'd say to go with the speeds... but otherwise this bike is extremely portable, eye catching (compliments at least once a day), and convenient. Good luck on your decision.

Our five year old does very well on this bike. We ordered the training wheels and he is using them for now and is doing great.

No, it's a good machine. Lot's of bike for the money. The only problems I have with the bike are all with the operator.

I bought this for my boys and they rode it to school (2 miles) they said it was good for long rides and fine on small hills.

Ours is two years old and still runs like a top. My 9 year daughter rides it, but my son who is almost 13 is too big for it now. The bike works well for someone under about 150 pounds. For $300 you cant ask for that much. It helps if your Dad is handy.

Yes I would recommend it. I gave it to my five year old and he transferred his skills to a regular bike without training wheels in 2 months!

Yes,I agree with your concern;It's been almost 2+ months since I own this Schwin 170,it is an excellent bike & it's a smooth ride!!! but one thing I don't like it's the seat,it's not comfortable at all ...too cumbersome /Big.

Yes absolutely! I just purchased this bike for my three year old this past Christmas. She just turned three in January and it is the perfect fit and will easily work until she moves up to a regular two wheel bike. FYI my daughter is also very tall. The overall quality of the bike and the workmanship is well worth the price. It is very sturdy, steers well and has awesome tires! You won't find another bike like this!!

Completely depends on how much you use it. I don't use my bike every day, but mine is still going strong after over a year.

I would likely say "yes", but unfortunately only ride 10 miles or less per day. However the bike is great. I like everything from the color, the hybrid features, the comfort and dependability of the bike, and how easy it is to ride. Shifting is fast and smooth, and I have experienced no problem with the bike itself.
