Greetings! Thanks for visiting the two-wheeled monkey blog! I started this blog to keep my friends, family and fans — who have been pressuring me to start a blog for several years now — updated on my whereabouts and experiences as a globe-trotting bike racer. I can’t make any promises, but I will try to post as often as I can. I’m still trying to adjust to my new life in España.
Feel free to leave me any questions, comments or a quick hello. Check back soon for my next post!
(Thanks to my sister for all her help with the blog!)
¡Adiós por ahora!

Great to read about your adventures. Best of luck to you, Jacob!
Review by H. Marks for Rating: i had to exchange my first one due to the glide opiton being defective it will glide twice or so and then will stop and the speed light will flash received the new one and it does the same thing contacted fisher price and was told that the model they had there did not do this and there was no way for it to be repaired, and so i was offered a refund i decided to keep the swing due to it’s other qualities, and really purchased it to be a swing so the glide opiton wasn’t too important to me, but i was disappointed that my only opiton was a refund when i would have liked to keep the swing but have it repaired so it works correctly! i originally ordered this swing based on it’s appearance looks appropriate in our modern home it did not let me down and was actually smaller in size (a good thing!) than what i had thought. the seat material is extremely soft, the butterfly mobile is darling and can be rotated out if you don’t want to use it, which i was hoping for this feature. the swing is a little loud but probably comparable to others, the volume of the music is a little loud even when it is turned all the way down. oh and the seat doesn’t really have a recline opiton, it is a barely noticeable difference when reclined. so i guess my review is mixed and since i based my purchase purely on appearance, and i really do like the way it looks in our home, i can give it an OK rating even despite the other issues!
Thanks for taking the time to update us, two wheeled monkey! I love to follow you. You are an inspiration.
