If the bike industry created this bike you could just ride and ride and ride and ride replace brake pads and ride and ride and ride replace cassette/chain and ride and ride and ride.
But they give us electronics, carbon, and all sorts of compolications to test how far we are willing to go for some marginal "performance edge" while they gradually enslave us to their business models of getting a new bike every few years, with cycles getting shorter and shorter. Bikes are becoming the new smartphones.
