But you don't know if they're actually used.

My mum and sister have cheap bikes from Halfords. They see less than 50km of use per year.

I used something similar (maybe Asda or Tesco's version?) and it was ruined with 1000km or so of use -- every bearing worn out, the wheel rims worn ... it was miserable to ride it.
