Spider-Man 3 Bike - Blue (16") Review

Like a lot of other buyers, the 16" Spiderman Bicycle was a Christmas gift for my three and a half-year old son. And also like a lot of other buyers, I am frequently anxious about assembling toys on Christmas eve. (I remember a fateful Christmas about seven years ago when I put together a battery powered Barbie Jeep. Yikes!) Although I did encounter one, minor problem, the degree product satisfaction is overwhelmingly positive.
First, the product was extremely easy to assemble. Ingeniously designed, I wondered why other manufacturers could not make their own products this simple! There are only a handful of parts that need to be fastened, including the front wheel, the seat, the handle bars, the brake connection on the right grip, and the Spiderman "shield" on the front. I think I only needed an adjustable wrench and a scissors to trim the zip ties for the shield. The bike was together and next to the tree in a matter of minutes.
Next, the price was right. The Amazon.com list price was .99. I did not shop the price around because it was so simple for me to "One-Click" order and have the bike delivered with the other gifts I ordered that I simply appreciated the convenience and left it alone. That aside, the bike is a good quality and a good value. If my son uses the bike for only three or four years, which will be the time he'll be due for an upgrade, the bike will only cost me about per year!
Finally, the little man loves it - and that's the most important thing for me. Although it's really too cold to ride it much outside now, that has not stopped him from enjoying it anyway. He just rides it around the stairs and the load-bearing walls from the kitchen to the hallway to the foyer through the living room and back to the kitchen...every day ten times a day!
My only complaint about the 16" Spiderman Bicycle relates to the hand brakes. Another creative feature is the inclusion of both a hand brake and a traditional foot brake. The foot brake works just fine, but I have found the pads that stop the wheel for the hand brake difficult to adjust and tighten. And, that's only a "small fly in butter" for an otherwise great product. In all, it's a very good buy for your little Spidey!
