How comes you oppose cycling as means of trans****t and as means of 
public health improval so much, as it has been proven numerous times to 
increase overall health in societies?

Maybe, in the future, somewhen. But right now, a lot - don't have the 
percentage at hand - of the biofuel resources is standing in the way of 
food resources.

What in particular has your personal medical story (no matter how 
interesting it may be,
or how much empathy you deserve for it) to do with cycling as means of 
trans****t,
its contribution to public health and the likes?

You're calling everybody else here a technology laggard. But I do think, 
  your case must some of a social laggard.
