PITTSBURGH -- I have seen this toy in the store for a long time and always wondered if kids really liked it. Judging from Kelly (Age 4), yes they love it. She has played with bike non-stop. If it is hooked up to the TV she is on it.

I have to say I love the bike too. It is such a different idea. It looks like a stationary bike for little kids. The kids ride the bike to win races and find letters and numbers. There is also a joy stick that you also use to pick different things. You can pick the color of your bike or the hood ornament for your school bus. You also use it to pick numbers and letters in different games.

I had to laugh when the game first came on. We are used to playing the Wii and the graphics on this system are so much less advanced, but the kids did not mind at all.

Kelly told me it was hard work. She said it was hard, but she was really awesome at it. I thought that was so funny.

Mary (Age 8) liked it, but it was very easy for her. Maybe there are more difficult games, but finding letters was a little simple for her. She did enjoy the idea of it. Jack (Age 3) just liked to press the buttons and he did not really care what happened. He could have played the games, but he just liked to peddle and push buttons. Hunter (Age 3) had a very similar experience with it.

This toy involved a lot of assembly. I expected to take it out of the box and be done, but I was very wrong. Also it does seem to cause fighting. I think because it is such a one person game and it is hard to take turns, because it never really ends. You can not finish a level, it just keeps going.

I think it is a great toy. It got the kids moving and learning. Kelly really tried with all the letter games. It is fun and I would defiantly recommend this toy for anyone between the ages of 4 and 6.
