Sibling Tricycle

 

No need for your two children to quarrel over who gets to ride the new tricycle now! Perhaps the argument on who gets to do the actual cycling may remain… but anyway, this Sibling Tricycle is designed with two seats, allowing two children to ride it at a time. Equipped with adjustable handlebars for the driver and handles as well as foot rest for the passenger at the back, the Sibling Tricycle is the perfect two-in-one tricycle for your kids to play with.

The tricycle features a 14-gauge steel tubular frame with two 9″ rubber wheels at the rear, built for stability and good traction on roads, sidewalks, and playground asphalt. Both driver and passenger seats are fully adjustable for your growing children and spring-cushioned for extra comfort in case of bumpy roads.

The Sibling Tricycle even has a 10″ x 12″ x 8″ wooden cargo box behind the passenger seat, ideal for your kids to store their toys and play date items as they cycle around your garden or the playground. With such a useful little box, maybe you can even send them out on errands and grocery-shopping and they will happily do it for you.

The tricycle can support two children for a total of 150 pounds and is recommended for children aged 2 and a half to 5 years old. The tricycle must be assembled manually and is priced at a total of $299.95.

Stowing away the Golfer’s Doorstop is also extremely simple and exciting. Not only could you use it as a very effective doorstop to prevent the door from slamming and such, but you could also place it aside without obstructing other furniture. The advantages of the Golfer’s Doorstop are only limited by one’s imagination.

Clip-on Bike LED Lights

 

Since the invention of the modern bicycle, numerous safety precautions for cyclists had been patented, invented and marketed to the people. There are safety helmets designed to reduced crash impacts, reflective vests and/or other similar clothing to increase night visibility, not to mention the vast array of dubious protective gear which is supposed to protect you from harm.

However, the majority of them are either overpriced, under quality or just plain useless in personal protection. With the Clip-on Bike LED Lights, there is now a simple and cost-effective way to reduce the odds of an untoward accident happening to you.

Priced at just $13 for a set of two Clip-on Bike LED Lights in red and white respectively, the device can be clipped onto almost any part of your trusty old bike. Cables, bars and even maybe the spokes of your back tire; you name it, they got it covered. With two of them, you can have one attached on the front and back of your bike; ensuring that you are visible to vehicles from both directions.

Unlike reflectors too, they will work just fine even though some cars may not have their headlights on. No longer will you have to depend also on the presence of lampposts. At the extremely affordable price they are retailing at, you can even get another set for the sides of your bike; ensuring that you are covered from all directions.
