The discussion is eBikes and the fact that they are motorized vehicles but declared by law to be bicycles. People are told they are the same because the law says so. Bike shops make money selling them to affluent people who think they are fun. Those people don't buy bikes. People get even fatter!
Walking and running are great but people are riding motor-bikes so they don't have the time.
Good point on fat cyclists though. People need to eat healthy too!
