The writer was talking about the bike for extended trans****tation, not
exercise. A lot more food to energy wasted than just for exercise. Now
technology can mitigate those problems, but the human powered vehicle
people
tend to hate technology advances and want to push for maximum wastefulness
of food to energy.

I am at the opposite end of the curve with the innovators and early
adopters. We are the most advanced people pu****ng the design of society
to
improve, not pull it back into a long dead past. We are the people that
design the future that people tend to want as what is most desirable for
their lives. Its is more complex than that, but you must realize that a
lot of things go on in society that are not related to technology laggard
concepts of the world.
You really should try to understand how the culture works at different
parts
of the curve rather than just making uneducated reformatting of my
statements
In general the technology laggard segment of society has been show in
research to be the most socially probamatic segment. The laggards have
been
found to often fail in many of the key social characteristics such as
connections with people, less than average intelligence, lower income, and
far fewer accomplishments in life.
The other end of the curve with early adopters and innovators tend to have
the most successes in most of the key indicators of a healthy life with
networks of friends, higher intelligence, higher income, much more diverse
lives, and a richer cultural environment.
You are just objecting to my views which are not the lowest end views that
you believe in.
