nb....think of all that stored up lard that a lot of people are carrying that could be put to good use like making cool music on a bicycle powered sound system like in the link
 
if everyone bicycled to produce the energy we need food consumption would go through the roof.

better to take the inefficient human out of the process and turn the food directly in to energy.
 
The bikes can only generate on average about 50 W of power at full speed. Multiply that by about 2 billion people (some of us need to have real jobs), and you get 10,000 MW. 10 thousand MW, versus current global demand of about 18 billion MW. Not even close.
 
Bicycle physics works well in-transportation- tool work (treadle-pedal) it is only leg power, which is the most strongest of body muscles. I think it has to be a combination of all forces. Without so much waste energy.It boils down to stored Energy to be used, then replenished. for other time..
 
The Chinese did that.
There is enough fuel but men are greedy to convert it to cash so they hoard and raise war.
