I am not a chemical engineer so I am not sure how equivalent these two measurements are… I mean for starters I can eat 1000 calories… but I think if I tried to get 1000 calories by consuming gasoline; I would die.
Keep in mind how much CO2 gets emitted for the food you eat during it’s production. Being vegan helps.
Of course it’s still much between than driving a car, but an ebike would be even better. Even if you charged it with electricity from a coal power plant the CO2 emissions would be way lower
And generating heat. I believe motorcycles fail to beat bicycles with rereads to efficiency. Though there are significantly better than cars EVs included
sort of the human body is pretty inefficient but a 20 mile bicycle ride can burn around 1000 calories while a gallon of fuel contains 31,000 calories.

That really would be efficient!
But I guess you actually meant to say kilo calories ;-)
A moped would be the closest equivalent ~100mpg so 3,000 calories per mile, vs a bike at 50.
I think it’s more that the moped /ICE engines are very inefficient then bikes are efficient, as an electric scooter would be lower then both.

I don’t eat more on days I cycle to work than on days that I take the bus or work from home.
It’s almost as if you burn all that fuel to move the car, the content of the car (people) is almost a rounding error.
