I can eat on the bike, actually. I did 210 km one day, a number of years ago, and only really stopped once (I had plenty of food that I ate as I went), but that wasn't with the city bike, for sure. Even the nice bike costs half of what this thing does, though.
Bicycles, on reasonable terrain (i.e. roads of some kind, or rideable trails) are the most efficient form of human transportation, in terms of energy / km.
