All in all, for being a cheap bike, it works great.
I biked a lot when I was a kid, but when I was in high school I pretty much drove everywhere. I now go to university in a very biking-oriented city, and needed to purchase an adult bike. Since I've put the bike together, it's served me well and I've used it daily for commuting without too many mishaps.
The one problem I've had with the bike, which actually may be due more to my shoddy assembly than its actual quality, is that from time to time, certain pieces of the bike come loose. After it happened a few times, I bought a foldable set of allen wrenches to keep in my backpack and when it happens now, I just stop for a second and tighten whatever's loose. It sounds like a bigger problem than it is-- most people check their tires and brakes before they ride anyway; I just have to take a little more time to check for loose bolts.
This bike is great for any adult on a budget who needs to commute across town. Its few problems make you learn about bike maintenance, which is useful knowledge to have.
