I think the article makes a lot of sense. >In comparison, the average lifetime of a personal bike in France, based on a 2020 survey, is around 20,000 km – almost 50% higher than for shared bicycles. Well, I am proud to say I got 38,000 miles (~60000 km) on my commuter/touring bike. It failed when the steel frame cracked, and the manufacture replaced the frame for free because it was due to a defect. I had kept the original receipt and brought it to the shop were I originally bought it. Also the crack did was not a failure and I was able to ride the last 5 miles (~8km) of my commute without issue.
