The Facts of Life - The Complete First & Second Seasons

This set is a good introduction. The third season was a definite improvement, though, as the comedy focused on the four young girls that had alot of character.

Plastic Apple iPhone Series Bike Ez On-Off Handlebar Rail Mount
$13.68
I bought this on Amazon earlier this year. I use it to hold my 3GS on my road bike. It's worked great for 500+ miles over roads with the occasional major bump. I've had no problems at all - not with the iPhone detaching, not with mounting it to the bike - it's working perfectly. A few seconds ago I ordered a second one of these for my other bike.

A few notes, to put this into context for others:

There is a little clip on the top that is the mechanism that fully secures your iPhone into the holster. If you don't push your iPhone firmly when you insert it in the holster, it's sometimes possible for that clip to catch partially on the SIM card slot on the top of the iPhone. If you're not paying attention, you may think it's clipped in correctly, but it's not. This happened to me once... once I realized this, I just give the phone an extra press when I clip it in, and it's fine. This isn't a serious issue, just something to be aware of.

I've had no problems at all with the iPhone coming unclipped. I've ridden through nasty potholes, over tree roots, and manhole lid covers that have flatted my tires, but my phone hasn't budged.

I've found that it's possible to use Google Maps, iMapMyRide and other GPS/workout apps, texting, and the iPod with the phone on the handlebars. I've been on concalls using headphones. It works fine, as long as you can overcome the wind noise in the microphone. Obviously, don't do any of this stuff in traffic... but if it's safe for you to do, the mount works fine to enable the iPhone to be used this way.

Road to Avonlea Season 6 - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables
$88.89
I just finished watching all the episodes on this set. The one thing I did not expect was something I had never seen: 2-sided DVDs. They are silver on both sides and have the disc and side number around the center in small print. There are two episodes per side, and multiple discs. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I expected, since there is only one episode featuring Felicity and Gus's story. As a fan of the series, I did enjoy most of the episodes very much and learned more about some of the newer characters included later in the series. It is all very good quality entertainment and very clean for all of the family to enjoy.
