Our dog loves the HoundAbout.... took a little while before she understood but now walks right in the back screen and sits down. Great Construction - light weight for riding longer distances.

My son loves this bike, it is light (which is hard to find in a kid's bike) and well constructed.

A few weeks in and this helmet works great for my large head and is quite comfortable for rides of 1-2 hours. I am 6'7" and weigh 330 lbs currently. I didn't have to adjust the helmet at all and wear it as it came. My hat size is 7 and 7/8 or a full 8 depending on the manufacturer. It is of good quality construction and materials.

Used this for a x-country trip from Denver to Milwaukee for the harley 110th celebration. Didn't have rain on the trip so can't comment on the water resistance. Construction was heavy duty and functional and the appearance was outstanding. Attachment points to the back rest and saddlebag guards were solid and worked easily for quick on and offs. Didn't come with locks but I bought a small one at Walmart for three dollars and it worked nicely. Although not as large as the Saddleman, the expandable pockets allowed more room for storage. I was able to fit rain suit, extra pair of riding boots, first aid kit, full size helmet, fire extinguisher, socks and underwear for 6 nights, extra maps, camera and assorted small items collected on the trip. If you don't have an OEM top case, then this is a great alternative.

These added a great deal of comfort to my 500 mile, day-long rides long rides. I have been riding touring bikes for over 30 years but have never had any highway pegs that were as nicely constructed and engineered as these. They are a bargain at this price. I don't know how they do it. I would have been just as happy with them if I'd paid twice the price and how often can you say that about something?  Buy them - you'll like them!

As a intermediate cyclist, I am not the most versed in what is good and bad concerning hardware for my bike. I mostly do trial and error. That being said, the first ride i took with this saddle, a 35 mile ride, was heaven. I didn't feel a thing, it was light and airy, allowing ample airflow, and felt smooth. It has continued to feel this way for even moderately uneven pavement for another 200 miles. Great seat for such a cheap price.

I have this mounted on my "adventure" bike--an older hardtail mountain bike with 1.25" slicks. I use it for carrying extra water, food, fishing supplies, etc for longer and all-day trail and back road rides. Some of the roads I ride are very rough and there has been no trouble with the rack moving around or coming loose.

I used to carry the same supplies in a backpack. Even on short-medium rides (15-25 miles), my shoulders would get tired from the weight. On longer ones >70 they would hurt. With this, that is no longer a problem and I stay cooler with my back able to breath.

The only downside is that with any rack, when out of the saddle, you'll feel the extra mass out back and it makes the bike handling feel very different. It doesn't really affect the handling though--just the feel. I descended a very steep and roughly paved back road section that I have done multiple times without the rack with the fully loaded PakRak today and after checking Strava, my time was basically the same as always with the same top speed of 45 mph. I also think the PakRak doesn't add any wind drag like traditional side-mounted panniers would.

If you are currently using a backpack to take supplies and gear on rides, do yourself a favor and get this. You won't regret it.

This was easy to put together and attach to my bike. It appears well built. We have taken it out for 2 rides and my 5 year old loves it. I can feel her pedaling when I take a break to coast. It does add a significant amount of weight to the bike ( you are towing a child so it should be expected). With the ability to raise the seat and handlebars, we should be able to use this for a few years.

Most of the other similar items resembled the type of construction similar to our fold out table with aluminum slats pivoting on cheap rivots. This contributes to light weight design but tends to break from repeated or rugged use. I chose this unit because of the powder coated steel tube construction and standard fasteners for pivots in the major support areas. This unit is probably a bit heavier than the others but it's built solid and appears to be much more substantial. I wanted something I could transport thousands of miles over many years and not have to replace it. I've only used it twice and it's lived up to my expectations. Once you become familiar with the set-up, it takes about 10 seconds to unfold and lock into place (same with packing it back into the box). It's a very nice design and is built to last. My Coleman stove has wire support legs which fit into the slots cut into the top aluminum table portion so it can't slide or be knocked off by accident. It has a well balanced heavy duty handle to carry it also. Can't really find anything negative to include.

This was NOT a free item for review. I paid real money for this item and am pleased with my purchase.

This is very light-weight and allows our daughter to manuever it pretty easily.  We were looking for a balance bike that would grow a bit with her and not be cumbersome for her to manipulate.  She is very comfortable on this and moves it around (even up or down a few steps) without having to ask for help.  I like that it did not come with hand brakes or the foot pegs and that's why we chose this particular bike.  Very pleased with it and putting it together took less than 20 mins.

The construction is good seems to be well manufactured. I have had it out on 3 overnight trips now and not had a single problem. My only objection is it is a little small I'm 5'6" and fit fine but it would not be comfortable if you where any taller; I wish it was wider as well as you cannot get a good diagonal hang.

This hitch mount carrier is made of aluminum, so is very light.  Easily lifted and installed by one person (but easier to do with two to get the hitch pin lined up).  The carrier looks very nice as the cross slats are some sort of polished / shiny material.  The rating indicates it can carry 500lbs, but we easily carried about 200lbs on it.  Little wind influence, unlike car roof top rack carriers.  The only negative to note was that one of the tack welds on a vertical support (to the 6 inch high top rail) was broken when it was delivered.  We were leaving on a trip the next day, so I was able to repair temporarily with a large sheet metal screw.

Alpinestars Pro-Light Review:

Pros: High Quality material, Excellent workmanship, and Slick Design, Light weight, Good Grip

Note:
Not best for Rides longer than 4-5 hours
Also it runs slightly (2/5 of a size) larger, check the chart size for exact measurement online (Their website does not have it or hard to find, use your search engine with title "Alpinestars glove size chart"

I ride both mountain and Road bikes, with travel time between 4-8 hours in general. I use Pearl Izumi for Mountain biking, with extra gel and Castelli for Road biking and I am happy with both, but I have to say that Alpinestars has both good looks and comfort at the same time.

Material quality is outstanding, it has 2 Exit loops to remove the glove quickly and the soft Microfiber cloth style on thumbs is the best to wipe out Perspiration.

Color and pattern differentiation on top of your glove makes hand signaling on the road easily visible to other drivers.
Ventilation is good, however since you have a ticker material it is a tradeoff. I don't mind it since exercise is about sweating.

The only reason I did not suggest it for the long ride is that I felt pressure in middle of my palm after 5 hours (It could be the way I hold the bike Handlebar).

Light weight but strong & well designed. I used to rely on a heavier "cheap" back pack for bike riding...I'm happy to have replaced it with this. Great for taking a lunch, compact pump & a few other items when out for a bike ride. Wouldn't buy it for the kids for a "book pack" because it wouldn't hold up. But great for those times when you need something that is comfortable and won't weigh you down but still is an efficient load carrier.

Excellent value, lightweight, shimano switch/derailleur, front shocks.
Son loves it.

Came safely in a big box with all rear derailleur part assembled (was my concern that I'll have to adjust it but it came factory -adjusted, thank you!) and only handlebars and front wheel dismounted.

Easily assembled.

My one had rubber tires with strong rubber smell - you may plan outside storage too at least for the first few days until rubber smell wears off.

Standard kickstand is also helpful.

I figured that the bracket in the package comes as derailleur protector.

Was able to mount Kryptonite U-lock mount on rear fork at left.

Maybe only missing water bottle mounting bolts on frame.

Initial impressions are that this is a good, sturdy alloy stem. I've done about 150 miles with it so far and it suits my needs and matches my Afterburner seat post on an aluminum framed cyclocross commuter. I use a flatbar and need longer stems and the 130mm fits perfectly.  Don't bother trying to find 130mm stems at bike shops, they all claim they don't exist. There's no creaking or anything like that would set off any alarms. While not inordinately heavy, its definitely not light enough to be of any use to you weight weenies out there. Seems perfectly suited to a heavy duty mountain bike.

this is light and comfortable. hard to find replacement suspension. My suspension broke after 8 months. The ratchet teeth strip fairly easily. would not be much of a problem if replacement suspension was sold on amazon. The short peak or bill of this hard hat is a big plus and makes a difference in increased visibilty
