I bought hero cycle in 2013 now Its 2018. Really what a experiance! At the first time I saw how a cycle lasts long. In beggning I was little nagative about hero cycle. I really did not like hero cycle. I did prefer herculis. But I dont remember why I buyed hero cycle at that time, maybe there was a strong reason. But anyway, I had a strong, perfect and long lasting cycle experiance. I was very rough about cycling, but It did not affect this cycle very much. Few Times It had repaired. But After five years still its in a very good confition.
