Pedal power isn't any more efficient than burning fossil fuels. It's not carbon neutral either because farming uses fossil fuels, and it clears space that would otherwise be forest or other natural foliage.
I'm not arguing against the health benefits, but human powered transport is already a developed technology, and we don't use it. You can't fight human nature with ideology for more than a relatively small population of people, and for a brief moment. Solutions must factor in human nature or they are destined to failure.
