having problems with cycling pedals

My father bought me a bike recently. I really enjoy cycling and I'm getting better every day. I'm even thinking about trying to enter a local cycling club. But first I have to fix some things. I'm having problems with cycling pedals. Apparently they were made from some firm plastic which got damaged during the cycling. What type of pedals should I buy now?

Unfortunately, you got a bike of suspicious quality. Bad pedals are causing bad feet work during cycling and your bad performance on bike. So, you'll have to change them with some metal pedals. They're not expensive and you'll ride a bike much easier. In the end, that'll enlarge your chances of entering that cycling club. Good luck!
