Daily Bike Commuter Highly Approves and Recommends!
348677
So I have been using this lock for the past year or so and I absolutely love it! I live in San Diego and after having a rather expensive bike stolen, I really wanted to buy something that would be difficult if not impossible to break. The lock feels very solid and heavy, and the additional chain is durable and very functional. My only critique is that the plastic bike attachment feels a little light compared to the lock. I no longer use this attachment to transport as the attachment at times loosens and allows the lock to swing around. Not a big deal though because, this to me is secondary to its main function, mainly preventing others from easily walking away with your wheels, which I feel it carries out excellently!

I live in the city (SF) and wanted to get a bike that I could use to commute to work and to ride leisurely in the park. I went to the public bikes down in hayes valley and the staff there were really nice/helpful. One of the workers, (Jon I think?), led me to this wonderful bike. The bike has a really nice ride. It rides smoothly, even when on gravel. The seat is already comfortable and can be adjusted for the perfect, comfy ride.

I bought a Vine-colored (lovely dark blue) bike, 58cm, with the three speed Shimano Nexus hub.
It arrived within 2 days via Amazon Prime in good shape except for a badly dented front fender.

The bike is high quality and I am very happy with it. The paint is really quite good, and the brakes and shifter, wheels and bars are very nice high-grade materials, beautifully burnished.

The bike needed some assembly: The handlebar, brakes, seat & post, pedals, rack, reflectors, and front fender needed to be installed or adjusted--all very easy to do with basic bicycle tools.

This  bike is a very nice ride. Its simplicity is what attracted me to it in the first place, having a three speed in-the-hub gearbox with a simple twist-shifter above the right handlebar grip, traditional (but very nice) caliper brakes, a nice leather seat and hand grips, steel fenders and an aluminium rear rack. The stiffness and responsive feel really bring out the kid in me--I have loved bikes since was a boy, and this bike is one of the nicest I have had.

You'll need a pump, LED flasher lights and a helmet, but it has has everything else you'll need for enjoyable cruising around your neighborhood or for commuting to work. I give it five stars.

I wrote an e-mail to support@purecitycycles.com about the fender, and I believe they will send me a replacement. I'll update my review when (if?) it comes

I don't usually post reviews. This might be my second review ever, in fact. My experience with Two Wheel Gear was so exceptional that I felt like I had to shout it from the rooftops. The product had high reviews and is one of the few convertible backpack/panniers on the market that looked like it would function well as both a backpack and as a pannier. Having used the product for a couple of weeks now, I'm still really pleased. The backpack is well made, comfortable as a backpack, large enough and with enough pockets to keep me organized, fastens securely to my bike rack, and transitions between pannier and backpack easily. I anticipate using it for a very long time.

As for working with the company, they were personable and went wayyyy above and beyond to help me out and get me the right product. It was a real pleasure buying from a company that is so customer-focused. I would recommend Two Wheel Gear without hesitation to anyone.

Delivery:
The bike came nicely packaged with an excessive amount of padding and cardboard taped to the frame. Takes a few minutes to remove, but was happy that the bike was so protected.  Assembly was straight forward. Just pop on the pedals, screw on the handlebars and adjust the seat and voila!  My model came with a kickstand and bell, so that was a nice touch. I did opt to get the 14 freewheel accessory as I intend to focus on handbraking.  Very nice that it includes a tire and is of equal quality.

Build:
Initial impressions were very good. From the moment you pick up the bike you can tell that this bike is set apart from the rest.  Although it is a small bike, weight is still important.  And this bike is very light.  Not a specific measurement, but Id say its half the weight of a department store bike. Despite being so light, it is also very durable.  Even as an adult, I was able to test it out for a little bit.

Sizing:
I was on the fence whether to order a Woom 2 or 3.  My son is on the small side (41 tall).  He was riding a Strider push bike and had outgrown it. With the Woom 2 seat all the way down, he is easily able to reach the ground while seated.  In this position starting and stopping is easy, but his knees are too bent in this position.  I plan to let him get a little more comfortable starting on his own, then will raise the seat up a bit. Im thinking this size will last about a year or so before I need to upgrade to a Woom 3. But I am happy about the size as it was an easy transition to a pedal bike.  I think the Woom 3 would have been too big for him to start out on.

Features:
The Woom 2 comes standard with almost everything needed. As noted above I did add the freewheel, which has helped out significantly in riding quality.  He is able to properly position his pedals to start out.  Braking is exceptional compared to department store bikes.  While it is only a single speed, he was able to keep up with us due to his speedy pedaling.

Accessories:
A few recommended accessories include a bottle cage which can be mounted underneath, water bottle, basket, Woom gloves and lights. I also ordered a matching Melon helmet.

Support:
These days it's all about the customer.  Woom no doubt lives by this mantra.  I've had to make a handful of calls to them on various questions and every time they have responded extremely professionally and quickly.  While they are not officially open on weekends, I've had multiple occassions where I received a response from them.  Way to go Woom!

Conclusion:
Overall, an excellent value. I have no regrets with my purchase.  Only wished I had discovered Woom earlier.  The build quality, geometry, customer support, and overall experience has been exceptional.  If you can afford it, Woom is the way to go.

Okay, I waited almost two weeks to write a review, because I wanted to make sure I fully tested the product before commenting on it.  I am just under 5 feet tall and was concerned that the bike wouldn't work for me.  It does and I'm so glad I took the chance and purchased it!  I work from home and use the bike every day.  I do have to sit a little further forward on the seat but the seat is large enough that it is still comfortable.  I'm up to using the bike about four hours per day and feel great and energized while working.  I highly recommend buying this product if you work from home or are looking for a way to get exercise that is not hard on your body.  I am up to biking 15 to 20 miles per day on it and feel great!  I absolutely love that you can pedal both forward and backward because it's really nice to be able to mix it up while you're exercising.  When people in their reviews noted that it is silent, they weren't kidding. I've used it on conference calls and while everyone is watching TV in the living room and it is absolutely silent.  I did buy a desk mouse pad attachment, which enables me to use a mouse instead of a touchpad. It puts it lower than the desk so it's more ergonomically correct. Highly recommend!

This bike far exceeded my expectations.  I am primarily an in-city and path rider and have appreciated the performance on poorly maintained streets.  I've purchased bikes locally for several hundred dollars more than this that have had worse components than this beauty.  I followed the advice of several reviews and went ahead and purchased a more comfortable seat.  At first the double clamp mount didn't seem large enough for the seat, but as I started to tighten the clamp onto the rails of the seat, the rails just seemed to fit themselves in.  I also added a 9" kryptonite lock that fits comfortably mounted high on the inside of the frame toward the front tire without getting in the way (on a 20"/XL bike).  The assembly instructions are not sequential, but are part-by-part and are all over the place.  I chose the order to do things pretty incorrectly and often had to back-track.  However, even without prior building or tuning experience, the documentation was sufficient to help me figure out how to build the bike and tune it to my exact preference.  The brakes, derailleurs, and position of everything feel perfect now, which I have never done for myself before.  In the end, the experience of working through the build was a definite gain in terms of my confidence to keep my own bike tuned.

All of the parts feel very solid, and the gears shift cleanly and without much noise (none from the rear derailleur, and a little from the front (Shimano) derailleur going up from first to second gear).  The derailleurs most definitely need to be adjusted in order to work cleanly, so expect this extra slightly involved task.  Also, the handles seem perhaps on the firmer side and my hands feel sore after a long ride even with heavy gloves on.  I might go in for some soft handles come springtime.

Also, the snow can be pretty heavy here in Boston during the winter, and my road bike has an impossible time after a storm, but this bike handles moderate snow and ice well.

In all, I love this purchase and definitely trust this company!  Also, to respond to a previous complaint I read about parts coming poorly packaged to where they were bent and/or scratched, I'd say that the manufacturer has perhaps responded the this because the packaging seemed sufficient and nothing came blemished (more than expected) or bent (at all).

Definitely purchase this bike if it's in your budget range.

One of THE BEST upgrades I have made on my bike. I never thought that a simple seat upgrade can make a HUGE difference. I commute about 15 miles each way from school and work and I kid you not, after hours of riding I have NO SORENESS whatsoever after getting to my destination. I can ride my bike for days on this. I highly recommend for anyone who commutes.

Bought it for my daily commute but I ended up riding this even on the weekends!
I ride it in Manhattan and Jersey City, and although I sometimes get strange looks from children or tourists, most people are fascinated by it and some coworkers even asked to try it out. It's a super fun, easy way to cruise around the city, and it reduces traveling time to half or less of what it would take on foot.

I've had it for about a month now and used it almost everyday, and found hardly any problems; the kick stand did break but I didn't use it much anyways. Otherwise, it's very sturdy. My boyfriend sometimes jumps on the back when I'm riding it, and eventhough we weigh about 270 pounds total, it glides easily and smoothly (although I don't recommend two people riding it; it's scary and dangerous).

The breaks work well and the dual-shock resistance is so good it's almost bouncy. I've also taken it in the rain and didn't experience any slipping. It can be noisy on bumpy roads, but otherwise, it's so quiet I'm thinking of attaching a bicycle bell to warn people that don't hear me coming. The handle bars are really sturdy, and that helps with grocery shopping too, as I can hang two grocery bags on each side and still scoot with relative ease.

As a bonus, I think scooting for about 30 minutes everyday is quite the squat exercise; my legs and butt are getting tighter!!

All in all, great product and would recommend to everyone!

Red Fox Sports Triangular Bike Bag
 2015 Brent Reece

What a great product! As an avid trekker here in Maine I am on my bike a lot and good gear is essential. This triangular dream is perfection to all serious riders. Two easily accessible weatherproof side pockets and secure mounting at three points on my bike make it an ideal addition to my bike! The reflective bands on each side insure greater visibility for the rider riding at night. Which is often the case as we trail ride across the north country.

Maximizing space on a trek bike is also an essential item here as well. Bigger bulkier baggage can be added to panniers in the back. But the under the crossbar triangular design makes great use of dead space on the bike. Leaving room for my hydration bottle, and working in tandem with my forward mounted mini saddlebag up near the handlebars. Thus allowing me to carry emergency gear/parts and tools on the bike no matter where I go!

Heres what they say about their product:

Product Description
 The Red Fox Sports Frame Bag Is Ideal For:

- Those who find under the seat bags too small
 - Those who need access to their bag while riding
 - Those who commute or need enough storage space for day trips
 - Those who like to carry their wallet, keys, cell phone, food, tools and clothing

Features & Benefits:

- Made of high quality, durable waterproof material
 - Two separate compartments one on each side of the bag
 - Reflective strips on both sides of the bag for visibility
 - Strong interlocking zippers with pull toggles for easy access
 - Triangular design with velcro on 3 sides to attach securely to the frame under the handle bars or below the seat
 - Fits conveniently inside the frame for out of the way storage
 - Fits well on different frame sizes of mountain, road and hybrid bikes (see sizing charts in the pictures above)

Will The Red Fox Sports Frame Bag Fit My Bike?

The frame bag will fit most mountain, road and hybrid bikes. If your bike has an angled or curved top tube or full suspension there may not be enough room within the frame for the bag. Your frame tubes must be less than 6 inches in circumference for the velcro straps to fit around the tubes. Refer to the diagrams in the pictures above for instructions on how to measure your bike.

I have to admit that when I was looking for the perfect spin bike for my husband for Father's Day and saw the price of Keiser bikes, I was a bit stunned (not because they weren't worth what they quoted, but because I had no idea what the perfect bike would really cost). However, after looking at so many different reviews of various manufacturers, I kept coming back to Keiser and the quality and perfection their bikes provided. So, I called Keiser directly and was lucky enough to get Mike in the sales department. Mike not only answered all of my questions and concerns (price, quality, which bike in your arsenal do I buy, etc), but put my mind at ease when I told him my concerns over how much I expected to pay for a spin bike versus how much I would use it, how I had wanted the best of the best, but didn't know which bike to purchase, etc. Figuring out that I wanted the M3iX seemed quite easy with Mike's direction and information and finding out that they had refurbished bikes at a fraction of the cost was music to my ears! Now came the part of figuring out how to get the bike from Fresno to Davis in a timely manner, and oh, perhaps have the bike delivered fully assembled so that I didn't have to reconstruct it myself since this was a surprise Father's Day present (it's the little things, right? :). Not to worry, Mike easily figured out each and every step and I can happily say that the bike was delivered today while my husband was away and it is gorgeous! The bike is exactly as Mike described and I know my husband will be just as excited as I am to get on and go for a great ride. I can't thank Mike enough for always being available and taking the time to make sure each process ran smoothly and without stress (on my part anyhow). Now comes the part about getting onto this beauty, turning it on and finding my groove. Thanks so much, Mike, for all you do, and I can only hope future customers find this review helpful in the purchase of their new (or refurbed!) Keiser cycle! You're the best!

I've had the Takara Kabuto for about a week now and I really can't express how much I love this bike. Not only does it look fresh to death, it rides great, and is light as well. Just FYI, I live in a major metropolitan area and ride this bike both for commuting and workout purposes

Let me first start by addressing the single speed aspect, and why I (don't) like it.

Why I like it:
- it makes me appreciate the simplicity of machinery. When I ride this bike, I understand that its output is directly linked to my input. It will go fast if I go fast, it will go slow if I go slow. As a science person, it makes me appreciate the physical principles of momentum and simple machines every time I ride it. It makes me realize how much more distance I can cover with simple principles of physics.
- every trip is a workout, or has the potential to be. For me, this was a major issue in choosing this bike. I wanted this primarily to workouk; without gears to make pedalling easier, you feel every hill. Personally, this is a pro.
- it looks amazing. I have gotten looks and compliments ranging from random passerby to guys on bikes 10x more expensive as this one
- the setup took less than an hour
- it's light
- your improvement on trails is always evident because of the fact that you only have one gear. For example, there is a huge hill where I live. The first time I went up it, I was exhausted, and the rest of my ride was spent recovering. After a week of riding, I went up it again, and noticed a difference in how fast I went up and how tired I was(n't) after. Since there was one gear, the most likely attribution for the improvement was me getting better.
- street cred: when you shoot past people, especially people on geared bikes, with a single speed, you will get respect. I've raced a couple of guys on gears, and while they beat me on some straights or downhills, the TK was able to win in the long run, and the respect I got from the riders was evident when they slowed down, moved to the sie, and finally let me pass and be on my way

Why I don't like it:
- I ride with two of my best friends, who both have geared bikes. As a result, on downhills, they can go faster simply because they can shift into higher gears and keep accelerating. A single speed bike has a limit on max speed, and that limit is how fast you can pedal your legs. I've gotten up to 50 km/h on this on about a 60 degree decline. I'm sure, with training, this will improve. But it is a hurdle one must be aware of beforehand.

Overall: absolutely worth the price and a great bike regardless of price

This thing is great. I am only a few weeks into ownership, but I have logged over 300 miles on it so far and lost a little over 5 pounds with no other changes to my habits.

The company is wonderful. They have been great about responding to questions & they are very interested in feedback on ways to improve the next version. In fact, this version is really the result of many customer requests.

So far, the only issue I am having is finding a seat that works well for me. The one that comes with it is okay, but various places get quite sore after 20 miles. I am not hugely overweight, but at 5'7" and 180lb ... my arse is not tiny. Most bike seats seem to be built for the career cyclist who's rear would fit 3 times in my pants. Anyway, so far the seat that came with it is winning in my preferences. I'd like to use it more each day, but my nethers can't take the abuse. If I find one to recommend, I will update this.

Anyway, the main recommendations -- buy the seat post add-on that will allow you to try other seats. Try it without the back on, so if you have to change seats you aren't disappointed by the fact that the seatback doesn't work with other seats. It still fits on there, but the addon seatpost changes the seat position relative to the back making it useless.

All in all, a great buy and I love the idea that they will make changes to the design based on customer feedback. More companies need to be this way.

Also, don't be sucked in by the 'hideaway' idea of the desk. Unless you have a rather large closet or unused/unseen corner of a room, it is unlikely that you'll be putting this away frequently. Mine sits in the main living room with my big screen tv & surround sound along with a laptop on the desk. The little wheels are great on tile or hardwood, but a bit pointless on carpeting. Although to be fair, they say 'not to be used on carpet or uneven flooring' -- but my living room has carpet, so oh well.

The little drawer is an interesting addition, but haven't found a use for it yet.
I think little hangon pockets on the side of the desk like in the previous version would work better for my many remotes, as they are too frequently needed to keep in the drawer.

Ok, I purchased this bike around the middle of last summer and I LOVE it! (I paid $125 through local ad). I originally saw an amazing fold up bike but it was around $1,000 which I did not want to pay, as I am a hobby rider at best. My husband did some adjustments to the bike, as it had some kind of problem (maybe explains the price) and made sure air pressure was good etc. and I was good to go. I like that I can drive to the shore (I wouldn't feel safe on a bike and simply would not do it) and then unload my bike and drive around the shore! The bike is a bit heavy but easily manageable. I don't see it as being flimsy at all.

I have been asked repeatedly where I got it as it looks a little unusual and you don't have to lift your foot up much to get on it which is not a problem for me but others seem to appreciate that feature. I like that you sit higher on this bike (feels better for my back) and that the pedal action feels a bit different to pedal. I replaced the seat as the one it came with.  It is a bit slower to drive as the wheels are smaller but I ride for pleasure as opposed to speed. I hope to do much more biking this summer!

I am 50 and never thought I would ride a bike again, but I am really enjoying it. I often take my bike to work in my car and then take a ride around the park or around town at lunch. Would definitely buy again and highly recommend it. I even love the colour (red) and plan on adding a bicycle carrier this summer.

I've had this thing for about a month now, and I can't recommend it enough. The construction feels premium, the materials are nice, and it gives you just enough space for all of your daily commuter needs. I carry my laptop, Nintendo switch, bike lock, sunglasses, and a number of books and notepads, and have plenty of room to spare.

I love how the bag doesn't bulge or sag even when it is mostly full. The bag feels very solidly constructed, and I get the impression it will hold up well over a long period of time. Also, I love the look and feel of the outer material in person. I wasn't sure if it would look as nice as the pictures on Amazon, but it does!

Also, final note is that I've gotten several compliments on my new backpack. It's a small bonus, but definitely never got those for the ratty old canvas bag I was toting around before!

Fantastic bike rack.  I don't regret my purchase.

I decided to bite when the opportunity arose move up to a newer, more modern bicycle rack.  I had shopped around for another metal uhm let's say California style rack.  Then I ran across the Saris Bones product line.  Fell in love with the design compared to my older, clunky and rusty rack.

See I live in NE Ohio where the roads are frequently salted to minimize icing during the colder months.  Problem is (not a problem now), I never take the rack off my car.  It's on there 365 days out of the year.  Saris being designed with a plastic compound was a smart move for me.  It won't rust, looks great on my car.  Oh yea, almost forgot...it comes in several colors!  Yay!  I was able to color coordinate it with my car.

I get comments about the rack when meeting other cyclists in the parking lot.  I always recommend Saris racks when I get a chance.  They're priced right, look great and I never have to worry about my bicycle disappearing while driving down the highway.  The straps are plastic with a locking system that is easily adjustable.  Sure takes the worry of loosing my expensive bike(s).  Buy one, you'll be glad you did!

I was hesitant on purchasing this because I had purchased 2 other cargo racks made by different companies and the quality and crappy instructions are what made me return them. Based of the reviews of this one on Amazon I decided to try the Topeak rack and I must say I love it. I ride a hybrid and it's my main daily commuter from work everyday (14 miles RT). This is perfect for me to strap my backpack to instead of always carrying it with me when I ride and arriving with sweaty back (yuk)!I'm looking into getting one of the MTX bags also made by Topeak because it slides right into the rails of this rack and locks into place. I would also be interested in trying out the spring version of this rack. It could have some benefits to it, but for now I'm loving this one. If you feel that you could use a rack on your bike then I would highly recommend this one. Also this rack still does look manly. I was worried that my bike would look like a grandpa or sissy bike with it on. Nope, looks great :) Enjoy!
