Schwinn Bikes ride on – Family 4 Pack Giveaway

Schwinn Bikes ride on – Family 4 Pack Giveaway

Aug 1, 2011 | DaDa Rocks, Giveaways

Schwinn is an amazing bike company its part of the american lexicon since its been around for over 100 years. Schwinn Bikes offers a ride for every level and everyone in your family. Schwinn has a full line of bikes (from kids wheels and running strollers to fitness bikes and old school cruisers), plus fun accessories such as bells, baskets and helmets.

Schwinn has great resources on their site like Teach Your Kid How to Ride that has a video to help you as parent get ready for training your kids to ride their bikes but still comes with the warning to break out that big box of band-aids.

Schwinn wants us all to get out and bike and to that point one lucky DaDa Rocks fan is going to win a 4 pack of bikes that are out of this world. You’ll get a bike a women’s Miramar, a men’s Miramar, a girl’s mist and a boy’s scorch. Thats a pretty amazing package.

My family has been riding their Schwinn Bikes all summer long but this all came from an event back in March where I got to meet Schwinn Brand Ambassador Olympic Gold Medalist and mother of two, Summer Sanders. My son Marc and I enjoy a great event, I learned all about their lines of bikes and heard about a passion both the Schwinn and Summer share about getting kids active!

Here’s a picture of my kiddo getting ready to ride while Summer Sanders and Jill from Glamamom.com watches on.

I’m a TeleNav Navigator in Chief — I still dont stop to ask for directions

I’m a TeleNav Navigator in Chief — I still dont stop to ask for directions

Jul 8, 2011 | DaDa Rocks

I hate asking for directions – I think it’s a guy thing (it has to be in our DNA) but in the recent years we’ve all seen the range of GPS units. GPS has allowed me to never ask for directions (but does make me ask for people address a lot more then in the past). It’s been a life saver at times, no more maps, no more talking to people at gas stations who haven’t a clue about directions and going on wild goose hunts. I’ve always had one big issue is that things change and GPS units get outdated quickly… new roads are built and opened and other roads are closed… Most GPS units now allow you to purchase updated maps but few have live streaming – enter Telenav who has fundimentally changed the way I’ll use a GPS.

I’m not flying with anything extra just my cellphone why?! because thats all I need. I have the TeleNav powered AT&T Navigation app (which is a paid subscription) for my iPhone (more information). Its been amazing, so hopefully you’ll follow along on from the stories of the road.

You can also follow the rest of the TeleNav Navigators in Chief Dad Panel on Twitter with the hashtag #TeleNavDad. There are five of us in all including the aforementioned Drew Bennett (@benspark) of BenSpark, Josh Becker (@DadStreet) ofDadStreet, John Taylor (@TheDaddyYoDude) of The DaddyYo Blog, and Tshaka Armstrong (@Tshaka_zulu) of Digital Sheperds.

You can find out more about TeleNav through these different outlets.

Disclosure: I am a member of the TeleNav Navigator in Chief dad panel and was provided compensation to participate. While I have received compensation to participate in the program all opinions are 100% my own and honest.
