David HoA person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic.
catch@davidho why does the car have five times the body weight? Is that the weight of a car or the weight of five people in a car?

Alexandre Marcati@skjeggtroll @catch56 @davidho so if the weight of the vehicle is being included, that means the bicycle is actually even more efficient if you just count the weight of the animal/person being transported and not the vehicle.

Indeed, it's good to note that both axes are logarithmic, so one division is 10x larger than the previous one.
