COOL....AND USELESS

Good news for local Mat or Minah Rempits. Unless you’re driving a bicycle, the Skull Helmet from Santiago Chopper is guaranteed to give by-passers the chills when you’re strolling along the road with your bad ass bike. However, you'd better be extra careful cause as cool as it looks, the Skull Helmet doesn’t promise to offer a lot of protection to your jaw in case of an accident. But it's your choice. I have to admit it does look intimidating. Prefer it in white though. Ouchh..scary...

MY SPANKING NEW BIKE

Hi. This is my new 12-inch bike, bought for my 3rd birthday by my lovely dad (he literally persuaded me to write the word 'lovely'). Dad says these bike are the best bets for preschoolers with small inseams of 15 to 20 inches, whatever that means. That was what the shopkeepeer tell him anyway.

My new bike have 12-inch wheels, coaster brakes, a very small frame and come standard with removable training wheels. They also have kid-pleasing features like decorative frills on the handlebars. The best thing is, it also comes with a passenger carrier and a free 'helmet' (but not for me to wear) because it's just a basket for me to put in my Hot Wheels and Maistos collections.

The two tone blue & yellow color is my favourite cause it matches the color of both James Toseland's Yamaha Tech 3 bike (picture below) and my favourite feeding bottle. What's more, it's sturdy enough to be passed to my younger sibling. 12-inch bikes are appropriate for two to four year olds, adds the auntie shopkeepeer at the bike shop.

My next bike.....same livery, plus an engine!

What's Hot: Cute, colorful and lots of fun stickers attached. Free 'helmet'.

What's Not: Not fond of the bike's name 'Puppy'.
