My (mid-previous-century, tech-free and entirely disconnected) bike is already way "smarter" than any modern "device". Precisely because its overall (non-)complexity is an exact fit for the role it's designed to perform. And, while long out of production, any reasonably competent bike mechanic on the planet can make expert repairs to, just from a quick visual inspection (and a catalog or two to order compatible parts from).
