Interesting take, and some otherwise hard-to-find data on the environmental cost of bicycles. I think the problem is tangential, in that anything that is produced primarily as a means to generate profit will be wasteful and turn into garbage as soon as possible. I commute via bike and I've had a range of different cycles -- on balance, a custom build on a mid-80's frame is the winner. Reliable, low-maintenance, efficient. We could easily go back to making things that work, "just" have to align priorities.
