May be good for beginners, but not for intermediate/advanced cyclists

I guess that for the ocasional guy who hops on for few minutes and does a 30 min exercise once or twice a week this bike will be wonderful. It has really good feel to it, is comfortable and the first two months is not very loud. I had this bike for a little over a year. After the first 4 months it started to squeak a little. I kept servicing the bike with bike lubricant and cleaning it. I did this three times in the 16 month period that I had it. Today the left pedal arm broke. What happened next is that I fell down from the bike and I hurt myself. I guess that using this bike 3+ times a week, and even more during winter, is not something you can get from this bike. I really need to buy a bike that has strong arm pedals. I only weight around 160 lbs. so that is not the issue. I believe that the price is right for the quality of the bike, just have in mind you might have to use it something around one hour a week to make it last.
