Cycling does require food, and humans are not very efficient batteries , so one wonders if that’s even true, especially if it was replaced with electric transportation.
Also, a lot of europe isn’t flat.
Cycling as main transport? No, thanks. Cycling for relax and pleasure? Sure.
Anybody who promotes cycling as a universal solution to commuting never cycled in a country that’s not completely flat, or that has serious winds, or that has extreme heat in summer.
Agree up to a point. What happens when it rains, or is really windy one day?

Imo must combine cycling with public transport
