The UK government could potentially consider providing subsidies for
electric bicycles and electric cars as part of a concerted policy effort
to get more people cycling, the roads minister, Jesse Norman, has said.

Not my definition of cycling. Especially because they seem to be
encouraging them into cars.

Assuming everyone already is healthy / gets enough exercise, food is higher carbon than than charging up an E bike.

Some cyclists have special needs like 4 hours of exercise/day for a good night's sleep so the carbon issue might not apply to us.
