Just because I burn less calories on an e-bike doesn't mean I consume less calories, just that I get fatter faster 🤣. All that fat will still turn into CO₂ once I start to decompose.

OTOH, if I get fatter, I'll probably start decomposing earlier, so you might be right that in the long run I'll save on CO₂.

We just need to calcify you for long-term storage to reduce your decomposing CO2 release

Well, the other part of it is the Exercise Paradox. See elsewhere in the thread for that discussion.
