It seems to me that the conditions created by bicycle usage would be closer to rubbing a spoon against a knife than the extreme conditions created by car usage (grammar?). So, while the test may not be accurate in a definitive sense, it wouldn't surprise me if the results do indicate the appropriateness of the products for bicycle usage.

EDIT: HillRider beat me to it.
