Slipped a chain, luckly its vietnam so I only had to push the bike down 200 feet of highway and 1 intersection before I found a Honda shop. I'm lucky I wasn't stranded in some mountains or offf-road.

There's only 2 sprockets on a bike, since it uses a geared transmission. I got my chain and sprockets replaced for 18USD, labor included, which I suspect is somehow more than it would cost for a non-single speed bicycle, because bicycles prices are weird.
Under $20 explains why nobody worries about it. You could probably extend the life of the sprockets by replacing the chain, but it's not worth the hassle at $20 for a whole new set.
The smaller bikes only cost 10 lmao.
Craziness. Even dirt cheap garbage chainrings for a bicycle cost way more than that, with nice ones running hundreds of dollars easy.
