I'm a student in the Netherlands. I've bought my current bike for โฌ50 second hand around 4 years ago. Aside from some flat tires and the occasional loose chain it's never failed me, and I use it at least 4 times a day.
My previous bike originally belonged to my dad and it only gave out after 30 years of constant use.
The key is to not buy an expensive sports bike with tons of features. My bike has a bell, lights, a reverse pedal brake, a kickstand and a frame lock. That's it. No gears, no wires, no carbon fiber. Just a solid steel bike. Cheap to construct and it'll last for years.
