This version of Samantha's Bicycle was released under the BeForever branding in 2014 and retired in 2018.Samantha's Bicycle Item# BKD51 Samantha is rolling toward adventure on her shiny new bicycle—a gift from Uncle Gard! This set includes: A deep-pink bicycle with white accents and tires, a stamped floral chain guard, and a faux-leather seat A woven basket A pretty bouquet of flowers tied with a satin ribbon for Samantha to carry in the basketSamantha's bicycle is a gorgeous bouquet of colors! Her bicycle is not just a delight to the eye, but it is well designed and nearly every component is constructed like a real bicycle. The front wheel pivots and steers, the wheels turn, and even the pedals rotate. While the bike chain itself does not move, the bike is easily moved forward with a gentle touch of the hand. No detail is overlooked--the wheels feel like real rubber, the fender has a fantastic subtle flair, the spokes look like the real thing, and even the chain guard has a "Victorian" design etched into it. The flowers are a simple addition but really complete the overall effect of the whole bicycle. Samantha balances with ease on the bicycle!

I give Samantha's Beforever Bicycle an A! It feels very substantial to me and the materials seem to be very high quality. I wasn't sure I'd like the plastic "wicker" basket, but it's very nicely done and removable, as well. I think the scale is right on and Avery looks super cute riding her new bike. I did a video unboxing and review for YouTube. There are more action pics at the end.

Thanks for the reviews. I almost bought the OG one that was 40% off last week. I could have gotten it for less than $30 with tax but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I just love Sams more.

I received this bike in April when it was 20% off. I am so glad I purchased it. It is a beautiful piece, and is very reminiscent of the PC days. While it is on supersale, I highly recommend getting it!

This bike is so adorable looking. I love the lacy design as the chain guard. I'm really considering this now as it looks just like the one I had in the 1980's except mine was blue It even had a wicker basket like this on the front.
