"A cyclist can go 3 or 4 times faster than a pedestrian, but uses 5 times less energy. The bicycle is the perfect transducer to match metabolic energy to impedance of locomotion. Equipped with this tool, man outstrips efficiency of not only all machines, but all other animals as well."

@kim_harding I'm surprised by the large gap between cars and taxis.

Also by the choice of a 727 for plane. It was already quite outdated in 1999

@kim_harding (but then again, I also fundamentally disagree with grouping all heavy rail with the London Underground. Or even grouping the London Underground with itself)
