PSA, please read; This bike is dangerous - Schwinn has cut corners during manufacturing.
So I loved this bike, I rode the hell out of it for.. 2 days Then it almost sent me under a bus when the pedal broke off in traffic. I got to clock less than 15 miles on this before it happened, and rode it on mostly level ground. The pedal and pedal arms are both aluminium and extremely prone to wear by friction after which the pedals will.. fall off because there is no thread left. Unluckily this happened to me while I was riding next to a truck and I almost ended up underneath it. Schwinn has cut corners on this, by making a manufacturing change that couldn't cost more than $15. Casting or pressing the parts from steel, OR even reverse threading on both sides to prevent the pedals coming loose. This change would have meant that they couldn't reuse the casting mold for the pedals and would need one for each pedal and for this reason the decision was made to drastically reduce the life of the bike. This bike suffers from greed for revenue at the expense of the end-user. This bike could have been amazing and would have been a 5-star review. Greed for profit margin has ruined this bike and I cannot in good faith recommend this even to the worst of enemies.
