I’ve only ever taken any of my cars to the shop twice or thrice over the years I believe. All the rest of my repairs have been done at home.
If I did 15000 km a year on a bicycle, that would be literally hell for that bicycle. I need new pedals every 500-1000 km because I exert too much force and I can’t be arsed to downshift every time I accelerate. Plastics break, metal ones bend. The crank bearing or whatever it’s called in English doesn’t tend to last too long either. I’m not much easier on my cars either, but they’re built to take it.
