Extraordinary Christopher Columbus Explorer for good

The Garmin Forerunner 305 is great. I have enjoyed it fully. I recommend getting with other runners who have them to fully utilize your features faster. It is a little confusing at first, but it is awesome when you figure it out. The only problem I had was I left it connected to the computer one time when I turned off the computer. I took it out later and the battery was dead. I charged it in the wall plug and everything worked fine after that. So, disconnect it from your computer before turning off your computer. Running Ahead website works great with reading the stats and downloading stats off the garmin.

The 12-Inch Explorer Dora Bike about

Adorable Bike. This bike is absolutely adorable. The decals on Dora the Explorer 12-Inch Bike are cute. My daughter is 2 months shy of 3 but is 37″ tall so she can ride this bike. She loves it. I wouldn’t recommend it for any child shorter than 37″ or they may have a hard time reaching the pedals even with the seat adjusted all the way down to its lowest position. The good thing about this bike is that a 3 to 6 year old can ride it so your kid will get lots of use on it because the seat is adjustable in height. For the price, it isn’t bad. It even has a little Dora backpack you rest on the handlebars which is great for holding your keys and things when you are taking your kid out for a ride. Of course, your kid can store what they like in the backpack, but you can probably just store a juice box and keys since that’s all the room there is in it.

The tires are nice and sturdy and will need to be pumped up with a standard bike pump. The bike comes with training wheels which are a plus. However, the training wheels are not as stable as one would hope, which is why I gave this bike 4 out of 5 stars. You have to be careful that the bike does not tip over on it’s side as it did with my little one. She rolled down a little bump from a stand still position and the bike tipped to the side and she fell. Just be sure and hold your child steady when going down any slope or incline is all–otherwise, the bike is great.
