  • I’m a big fan of bikes, I always ride locally. But I suspect this is assuming a paved road, and a well maintained bike, right? In wonder how that changes when you account for maintenance costs? Alternatively, what would mountain biking look like on this chart?

    Edit: did I word it that badly? I mean, a bike is only that energy efficient because you’ve already spend a craptonne of energy building the smooth road. Comparing it to a person walking is not, unless you also do a comparison across rough terrain (that is still easily navigable by a person on foot)
