Wheel bearings? Cranks, headset, pedal bearings?

How long is a piece of string?

Bearing life is affected by the quality and type of bearings, location in the bike (not all bearings are equally loaded) and attention to maintenance.
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.

Four chains and a furlong. That should adequately answer all the above.
