Not for meI had difficulty with the disrailler (sic?) when my chain came off of the drive and I tried to put the chain on. Before then, I liked the bike. Now it breaks down too often. The chain guard is plastic, held on by 4 very cheap small screws. The brakes are adequate, but need to be adjusted if you ever replace a tire or loosen the back wheel. I like the weight and size and the seat which make for a relatively comfortable ride and ease for putting it on a bike rack. I like the choice of speeds, I can go uphill and downhill comfortably. I only use it on paved surfaces by choice. I would like to be able to find parts and a diagram of the assembly. I prefer to do my own work, but maybe if I had easy access to a bike shop, I would be better off with this bike.

Amazing Avenir ATB Pedals!A simple search for "bike pedals" here on Amazon.com resulted in these amazing Avenir ATB Pedals showing up first.
Was just looking for a simple pair of replacement pedals for my son's bike, and these were the first that showed up. It seems that replacing bike pedals is becoming an annual occurrence the older he gets (and the further distances he travels), so I'm becoming resigned to our performance of this ritual together.
The photo looked like a pretty generic resin or plastic pedal with a built-in reflector, as you can see for yourself. But little did I expect to find such gems as these when I did this search, and after reading the specs, just knew that I had to buy them. I'll just repeat here what I found:
Product Features
* Lightweight sleeping bag is ideal for mild weather camping
* Polyester outer shell offers durable, long-lasting use
* Printed polyester inner material provides cozy warmth
* Insul-Therm Therm provides comfort down to 30 degrees
* Measures 77 inches long by 33 inches wide
You can imagine my amazement when I read these extraordinary features, especially where the "polyester inner material provides cozy warmth," and the "Insul-Therm Therm provides comfort down to 30 degrees." Sounds perfect for bike riding and keeping ones feet warm during the snowy winters we get here in Pennsylvania. Must admit that I've never seen bike pedals before that measure 77 inches long by 33 inches wide, and I'm just wondering if Amazon.com is going to ship them by USPS or UPS.
So yes, with product features like these, I felt compelled to order them, if only out of curiosity.
And luckily I'm prepared, as I'm the proud owner of a genuine Park Tool Pedal Wrench (also know as a "PW-3") made from Cro-Moly steel and which fits both 15mm and 9/16 inch pedals. This isn't the normal wrench that one would find in a regular home toolbox, but when I found it at a yard sale this summer, where it was marked as a "left-handed monkey wrench" by the seller, I grabbed it for an amazing price.
So why would someone need a Cro-Moly steel PW-3 from Park Tool to just change bike pedals? Bike pedal threads are different from left side and right side. The right side pedal has a right-hand thread (removes counterclockwise, installs clockwise). The left side pedal has a left-hand thread (removes clockwise, installs counterclockwise). Many pedals are stamped "L" and "R" for left and right. Additionally, the thread will appear to slope up toward its tightening direction. Left hand threads slope up to the left, while right hand threads slope up to the right. Got that?
In any case, the old pedals are often rusted on, requiring a few zaps of WD-40 to loosen them up, then a bit of good old-fashioned elbow grease applied with that Cro-Moly steel PW-3 wrench. Once that's done, the new pedals can be installed, reversing the removal procedure noted above.
And if I can't remember which direction to turn the wrench (do I turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise...) to properly install the amazing new Avenir ATB Pedals, I can always refer to the new Park Tool The Big Blue Book of Repair - 2nd Edition for good instructions.
Can't wait to see how these pedals are going to be "ideal for mild weather camping," that's for sure!
Extra costs
Nothing wrong with the pedals.......same quality as you can buy at K-Mart but for less money minus the shipping.
GREAT REPLACEMENT FOR POOR QUALITY ORIGINALS
BETTER QUALITY, GOOD PRICE, LONGER LASTING, FOR THREE PIECE CRANKS ONLY. WILL TAKE MANY CURB HITS.
Wide Platform & Dual Reflectors On Each Pedal
I wear large basketball shoes most of the time but these pedals are nice and big, so no problem. This is a great climb-on-and-go pedal, no clips to worry about. The perfect casual urban/commuting/touring pedals. Right now I have them on my training bike in the basement. When the weather clears I'll be pounding the streets with them. The grip and control is very good due to the studs on the surface of the pedal. Plastic? Yes. Cheap? No! Inexspensive enough to buy a couple of pedals at a time.
The Perfect Low Cost Plastic Pedal On A $1500 Road Bike!
Each pedal has two reflectors, wide grippy roughened surface and are amazingly light weight. They feel and look high quality despite being plastic. I'm using them on a $1500 road bike! I could care less about equipment snobbery; convenience and performance is what counts for me.

Product Description
The only guaranteed leak proof bike/fitness/sports bottle on the market. A Lexan mud cap keeps the drinking spout clean and the bottle neck is the same size as standard Nalgene wide mouth bottles so you can screw on water purifiers or use a standard Nalgene lid.Customer Reviews
Works wellIt does not contaminate water with taste but water sprays out like a shower. I would prefer the water to come out in a single stream which gives more thirst quenching effect.
Love these
I do not use these for sports. I use it to put my crystal light when in the living room or bed room(so it will not spill on the rug) I love it. Will take it in my purse also. I hate most water out, will not pay for the bottle kind, and do not drink pop. So i put my crystal light in this and it works in the car, in my purse when shopping,etc. I have yet to have it spill. It comes out just fine for me, just the right amount of fluid. I have yet to get sprayed with it,etc.
Also like the indented place for your hands. I have small hands and the ones without an indented place are hard for me to hold.
Leak proof. Good buy.
This bottle has a mud flap that closes the nossle and makes the thing leak proof. Big enough opening to put ice into it. Good buy!
Great safe water bottle!
I bought a few of these for my daughter and have been very pleased with them. Love that there is an affordable, but safe alternative that is BPA free.

ATB Toe Clip Set LARGECustomer Reviews
Need to improve the designThe clips will not fit a slandered pedal (my case trek 4300) unless you modify the slot. I had to use a soldering gun to enlarge the slot before I could install them on my bike
Works well, no instructions
These clips are great, but it took me a while to install them properly. There are no instructions included on how to put them on or adjust them.
Ok while they lasted...
Broke at the joint near the screws after a few months of mild-moderate use. Also were not tall enough to fit many shoes.
Should've gone with metal clips, I'd still be using them.
5 star
First time I've used toe clips, these are durable, easy to install, and are comfortable.
Inexpensive and very helpful
These toe clips were generally easy to install, except it would have been nice to have a better illustration of how to thread the strap into the clip. I found a website that illustrated how to thread it and so that worked out fine. These have worked out wonderfully for me - MUCH easier to pedal with them, and I have no problem at all getting my feet out of the straps quickly when I need to. Well worth the expense!
Profile : Charlie McDonald « Beeston Cycling Club
Â
Who are you and tell us a little about yourself?
Chair of Beeston CC, father to Katie (4) & Harry (2), husband of Carina (xx) - but not necessarily in that order (honest darling). Poor struggling Mental Health student, allegedly mature at 35 and working in the same field to keep the wolf from the door.
What’s your motivation to get on your bike?
I love bikes. Have spent the last few years building a fleet of bikes in the shed but never riding, joined Beeston last year and have now sold most of them but have actually started to turn pedals in anger! The 4 stone and 6 inches (WAIST) I have grown since hitting 30 have been a bit of a driving force too.
What brought you into cycling?
I started riding casually with a group of mates in school at around 13, then joined Cleveland Wheelers and began to race some time trials, road & track working Saturdays and weekends in various bike shops to fund the habit. Mountain bikes found their way to the UK and despite initially scoffing at the clunky beasts after loaning a bike to do a race (in which I was coming 3rd until forgetting to turn a corner 1 mile from home and time trialling 10 miles before the track ended and a main road started – future echoes of Mr Pugh?) I was hooked. The 700c’s pretty much fell by the wayside then apart from the odd run out, and eventually the mountain bike was nicked and I bought a car with the insurance money and that was it – sex, drugs and rock & roll for the next decade and a half until Beeston saved me…
What are your short, medium and long term cycling goals?
1. Drop a pound (stone) or 2 (3)
2. Beeston CC 100 mile Challenge Ride
3. To still want to ride a bike after doing 2.
Do you have any strengths / weaknesses on the bike?
My strength is that I am the best cyclist in the world (theoretically). My weakness is that that I am an outrageous liar.

I have toured the island a couple of times, although the terrain is sometimes too rough for less than an ATB (All Terrain Bike).
