Sorry. I try to read everything here, but missed your post.
I think that you rather missed the point of the BBC item. The bikes are so useless that they fall apart quickly and are inoperable on the roads. Darwinism comes to bikes.
Darwinism is fine if said winner is in a field and unable to harm others. It's not quite so funny for the driver who kills someone because the bike brakes which were working when they left home fail. I imagine a fair number of these bikes are used in public places and the potential for harm is quite real.
Did my avatar give it away?

Again, I am sorry. I will try harder to curb my youthful exuberance and check before posting.
