I bought this so I could map routes on my motorcycle. One day my instructor asked me to calibrate sensors on a wind resource assessment site. I used the gps functions like elevation, compass, and coordinates for the calibration. As I left I dropped the GPS in the field where the tower was located. It sat face down in the dirt all winter. Last winter Iowa had a lot of snow dumped, I figured that if I ever found it it would be junk. Months later in spring the class went out to the site and someone found my gps, I cleaned off the screen of dirt and hit the power button, to my surprise it fired up and started tracking satellites! Apparently the waterproofing seal really worked, and normally I don't think these devices are meant to survive the kind of punishment I put it through, but it still works perfect today.

Summer trail rides and bike paths are now explorator on bikes! My dog is 97 lbs has been missing out on exercise because I can only take him on walking trails with us. The piece comes all together, there is no guessing on where things go. You simply undo the bolts and fasten it around your bike then tighten again. Definitely make sure it's tight so it doesn't accidentally move while riding.  Now he can really shed some pounds by joining us on more adventures. It was never a thought to try and ride with him, since it would be dangerous for the kids, who already keep my hands full. I figured this would be a great solution. Now, I can ride with both hands in control and my dog can run next to us. I was able to try this at a discount for my honest opinion.

I was surprised at how well this works.  I primarily ride mountain bike trails with small jumps, log piles and rocks (you know, the fun stuff) and this little gizmo keeps my phone securely on my handlebars.  I use this on three different and did have concerns about the latch holding at first, but so far so good.  Haven't crashed yet with this on the bike and that will be the test at some point hopefully a long time from now.

I had my knee replaced in February and have been going to Physical Therapy. My Medicare ran out and I was told by my therapist that the one single thing I should focus on other than a few exercises would be peddling a bike. I purchased this with many doubts. It arrived yesterday and I  have to say I love it. It feels very well put together, sturdy and smooth. I am without the slightest bit of doubt that this will help me improve my range of motion. Wish I had purchased it sooner.

I bought a new mountain bike that is the best bike I've ever owned, apart from one aspect: the seat.  The hard plastic, tiny seat that came with the bike was something akin to a proctologist's tool or alien probe torture device.  So I looked around online and bought this seat last week.  Installation was very quick.  It's a solidly-built seat with very sturdy construction.  I went from riding about four blocks and experiencing gluteus maximus-wrenching pain to a totally comfortable four mile trek in a single day.  I'm a big linebacker type fella, and this seat works perfectly for me.  I'm also impressed with how quickly the order shipped and arrived at my front door within a day.  GREAT service!!!

I'm 67 years old and hadn't ridden a bike in 20 years, then my son, who lives near a cycling trail, bought this bike for me. Sweet! I now have a new activity. This is my first experience with gears and hand brakes also. After a brief training time on a flat track, I was able to ride, and more importantly, enjoy the trail. I went for miles. This bike is great. I had it serviced at a bike shop before riding as instructed. I also bought a nice helmet from Walmart which was not a big expense.

The gears work smoothly, and as the rest of the world knows, are handy for even slight grades. Hand brakes are accessible and easy to use. Don't require a lot of strength. This bike is easy, easy, easy to get on and off of. I have a hip replacement and can't lift my leg too high. No problem. Also, when stopped, I can put my feet down flat on the pavement. I'm 5'6" and the seat is set at mid height.

The bike is strudy and doesn't feel like a lead sled as mentioned in another review. It folds nicely I to a little item that can easily be stored or transported. My son folded it for me, so I don't know how hard that is to do.

If you live near a trail or bike path, get this little gem. I think you'll really enjoy it!

Love the Thudbuster.  I ride an aluminum hardtail mountain bike and this is just enough to take the sting out of square edge bumps in the trail, especially when climbing.  I can stay seated over parts of the trail where I would have had to stand up before.  Can't afford a full suspension bike right now and this has made my rides a lot more comfortable until I can.  I would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't want the expense of rear suspension, but still wants a little more comfort.

I got this product so I can ride the Great Divide Mountain Bike Trail. So far I really like it.

first use was on a 20 mile ride, straight out of the box. Included uphills, downhills, dirt, rocks, pavement, and mud. My impression was that it held up really well. There are a few things id recommend.

First change out the tires. Worked really great for pavement and easy trails, but once i started to get on trails that were a little bit more slippery, i fealt uneasy on the bike. There is not much for it to grip in to the trail. I couldn't trust that the bike would go where i wanted it to. On those instances i just got off the bike and walked it.

Second is more subjective and other people might think differently. I wasn't a fan of the seat, and would like something a little more comfortable

In all, im very impressed with the bike outside of those two items.

I am still in shock over my 09 X. (No pun intended) I love practicing wheelies in my driveway without pissing anyone off. When I hit the trails it is so easy to transport being so lite. You can even lay the bike on its side in a car without causing a bio hazard. I was a bit worried that the bike would end up being just an expensive novelty but that is not the case at all. My Bike has killer performance and is scary fast, worth every penny. I just went on an hour and a half trail ride with about 30% battery power left over!!! Amazon just became a better place.

I started riding motorcycles about a year ago.  And because I was travelling to all kinds of places I didn't before, I wanted to capture the memories on video.  So I had 3 options: put a camera in my helmet, get a Go Pro, or get something to attach my camera to the bike.  I tried putting the camera in the helmet.  The footage was great and I could talk into the camera mic, but I didn't like how the camera blocked some of my vision.  Next was the Go Pro.  Great little device.  I just didn't want to spend $150 on a camera when I already had a perfectly good one.  So, I looked into camera mounts and found the Fat Gecko Mini.

I've had the mount for about six months.  I've ridden about 6,000 miles with the mount on the bike (ZX-6R).  Some rides lasted 8+ hours.  I've taken it to the track 3 times.  And I have done 145 mph with the camera mounted.  Not once has the mount fell off, felt loose, or became unstable.  It is an amazing little thing.

For most of my rides, I placed the mount on my tank behind the windscreen.  I really wanted to place it on the front of the bike or the side.  But honestly, I thought that it would get pulled off by the wind.  About 2 weeks ago, I find got the courage to place it on the front of the bike, with no wind protection.  It performed flawlessly!  The ride lasted for 7 hours.  I didn't take it off the entire time.  I can't tell you how nervous I was for the first hour of the ride.  After that, I didn't even think about it.

My only negative comment about the mount is the extension.  I can not use it on the motorcycle.  There is just too much vibration from the road.  If it were on a non-moving surface or inside of a vehicle, I have no doubt that there would be very little vibration in the camera footage.

Any hand-held camera which can attach to a tripod (most cameras) can be mounted on the Fat Gecko Mini.  I wouldn't put a camcorder or camera over 2 pounds on it when mounting on the outside of a vehicle.  That's just asking for trouble.  But everything else, go for it!  So save some money and get one.  You won't be disappointed.

Have not used it on the trail yet, but I am so excited too! This is awesome, a mini pocket filter that is one of the lightest and more economical on the market. The only thing I would of changed is to put a hook or some kind of hole in the squeeze pouch so you can put it upside down and use it via gravitity so you can cook/set up camp while filtering water. You can however easily take a hole puncher and puncha  holes in the end and use some cord to put it in a tree or hang on side of tent.

I've ridden this bike twice already today and am astounded with how great it rides with vary little effort. This is the first bike i have rode on for about 2-3 years and i was scared that it would be rough to relearn but within the first five minutes i was able to feel confident on it thanks mainly to how superb the bike is.

After a nasty bike accident I didn't ride one for 10 years. A month ago an adult passed by on a Trike.  Immediately I did an extensive search in the local shops and on the internet.  The price was the best on Amazon. Since I was passing through San Francisco on the way back to Canada, I got it delivered to the hotel I stayed.  The Customer Service Staff at Amazon monitored each day and kept me notified by eMail, the safe and timely delivery for me to get it on time.  On 19 May [2011], afternoon I was in Calgary with my precious 'DART', the Trike.  Within 45 minutes my husband assembled it for me.  The image shows the first minute after the assembly.  I was ready roll.  Being a diabetic with cardiac issues and a weak spine, This adult folding tricycle is the best thing that has happened to me in a decade.  Now I am able to ride anywhere to exercise myself, or go for a leisure/pleasure ride or even do some miscellaneous shopping.  Like a bird in the sky, the freedom I enjoy is priceless.
Many people stop me on the way to enquire about Dart because it is not see here and only one store sells it at a very high price.
The quality of the bike is very good.  Very safe and comfortable for anyone to ride. All the features work very well.  It is easy to handle.  When wheeling it to cross the street or anywhere else, just tilt the trike to a side and roll it on the front wheel and one rear wheel.  It is that easy.
Dart is worth it's weight in gold.
Million thanks to Amazon.
