Perpetual Motion

Scientists have been surprised by new images obtained from their technological instruments of perception which appear to explain the massive clockwork mechanism of the universe's refusal to show any signs of winding down. Where is all the energy coming from, accelerated expansion of said universe, etc.
It appears that all the fibres of existence do converge upon an ultimate centre of energy, and in this centre appears to be, surprisingly but unmistakeably, a rather small middle-aged man, respectably but a little shabbily dressed, seated upon and pedalling a bicycle. He, and this has upset some of our scientific minds, doesn't seem to be particularly exerting himself, sometimes even free-wheeling while he rolls himself a cigarette. Whether the man and his bike are actually in motion or static, as with an exercise-bike, is as yet uncertain, but evidence is starting to hesitantly lean towards actual motion. What motivates this individual is pure conjecture.

Exercise bikes are one of the ways to loose fat and weight. Exercise bikeworkouts are a great way to lose fat and get in condition. A big plus of an exercise bike workout is that it not only works your heart and lungs but also the muscles in your lower body. Put some variety into your exercise bike workout and you stand more chance of not getting bored.

That would seem a satisfactory answer, if a little too utilitarian for some tastes.

Thanks very much! A hug back from cold Ireland.

Is the little man on the bicycle related to the alien corpses stored at Roswell, New Mexico?

Einstein rides a bike in that poster which is everywhere in college dorms. Maybe it is him at the center of the universe?
