The big issue the author misses is that there's no such thing as a "lemon". The whole concept of the "lemon" is one that ignores that a machine like this is the sum of it's parts, in their working or non working order. In the auto world, some states have odd qualifiers like "3 times in X months = you bought a lemon", which in reality means, "I did not know enough about the individual parts of the machine I purchased to fairly assess their quality/condition/or appropriate place in the larger machine". I can understand this, in the automotive world, as these machines are in fact quite complicated. A bicycle is not. The most complicated bicycles on the market may be, with electronic shifting, etc.. but those come at such a premium they're legitimately intended for racing users only. If you can't spend a few minutes to see how simple moving parts should work, take care of exposed parts in the elements, and educate yourself, how dare you compare your simplistic, cheap machine to a car legally. We have enough problems trying to ride our bicycles without people trying to act like lawyers when they don't know how to clean their front derailleurs.
