I have set it up so that for me it rides well except the peddles. What came with the bike when I got it were some small, kind of ratty, metal paddles. They may have been what came on the bike, but I am not sure and it doesn't really matter. One question I have is for this type of riding that I do and plan on doing, do I want to get toe clips? I have them for an old road bike and really like using them. (I don't want clipless peddles as I like wearing my regular walk around shoes), I don't want to have to get special shoes for riding. I see a lots of wide mountain bike peddles for sale and think they look cool but looking cool and working good is another question. any recommendations?
