How comes you oppose cycling as means of transport 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.

Shouldn't there be an adjective?

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
transport,
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.
