These people are psychotic @$$holes, and they have to be stopped, or we'll ALL be slaves, not just the ones chained to the power generating bicycles.

Excellent amplification on my comment, HSB! All the energy to plant, water, fertilize, harvest, process, transport and store food -- then feed the food to people, chain millions of them to benches and make them galley slaves. We struggled for millennia to harness thermodynamics to free people from the drudgery of daily existence and now they want us to forsake all of our knowledge and return to primitive lives? These people ARE psychotic and without a single SHRED of common sense.

This is the future these lunatics foresee for all of us. Chained to the State and chained to the oars.

ALL of this reminds me of a few old cartoons in some ancient electronic magazines I had—and I THINK still have. The cartoons had something going on, like a computer or escalator, and a sign near it reading “save energy”. For the computer—it has a treadle that the woman was pedaling to run it—and the escalator had a man on a bicycle in the corner.

This was 1980 or 1981 IIRC...Elementary electronics. At the time...I thought it was funny, and an example of environmental stupidity—that would NOT be acted upon.

But here we are...what next, “flintstone” type cars for us all??

If we could only bring back Reagan....
