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.

I knew one who did.

Lance Armstrong? :-D

Also, I sometimes want to go to the seaside. It's 600 km from here (Durban).

No, but he did live in the Boston metro area, and Bostonians are more likely than most other Americans to bike to work, regardless of income bracket. Seriously, biking 40 km is NOT as far as people think. It's just that people are freakin' lazy and modern Americans can't comprehend actually covering distance on their own power.

I swear you won't see me defend Americans' laziness any time soon.

20km is prob the upper limit of what average person would be willing to do daily. It's far enough.
