It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Ehh, not necessarily. Would you even recoup the energy and materials needed for such a bike? Would be a bit different if the energy was stored in something other than a battery.

You're already going to have the exercise bike if that's what you want so now we are only recouping the generator and parts. Why do you hate progress?

Because if you can't recoup the energy cost then it's just more waste. I'm just saying it's not straightforward.
