The bicycle is superior to the motor-car. Healthier for people and the environment.

We should invest in bicycle culture.

Human power should be a major source of renewable energy that we look into.

Actually, no.

If you're talking about a direct one to one ratio of work vs time, absolutely, the car wins hands down every time.

But if you actually look at total energy input that goes into mining the metal and other materials to make the factory to make the parts that make the car to burn the fuel found at great expense pulled out of the ground defended by the worlds largest military budget, refined, and shipped to where the car is... bicycle wins.
