And the basis for that statement is? Assuming rational people, and perfect information, the bike an individual buys is by definition the best bike for them.

Now admittedly information is not perfect; there are costs in obtaining information (even if that cost is time), and people do not always behave rationally. Thus I can easily believe that some people end up with bikes that are not the best bikes for them, i would also believe that the majority (way more than 10% at least) actually make good decisions on their bike purchases, based upon their own criteria.
