    @rvaughnmd a jet transport is more efficient than a human by foot? ๐Ÿค” probably because of the distance it can cover

        If you want to be as efficient as you possibly can be, build yourself a nice aerodynamic recumbent velomobile with a small e-bike assist motor this summer.

        @rvaughnmd a bicycle is heavier than a velomobile according to that chart?

          @rvaughnmd @petervalkema amazingly I just thought about this an hour ago, with the addendum that a person in a velomobile is even twice as efficient

          (ah, I've now read the entire article and that's also mentioned ๐Ÿ˜…)

            @rvaughnmd

            Is it really fair to let the human have a bicycle and not the salmon and the horse?

              @rvaughnmd .. except that few other animals move along paths with a hard and smoothly asphalted surface

                  @peterbrown @rvaughnmd But I'll ride a bike voluntarily, for fun.

                    @rvaughnmd I, for one, appreciate the anti-dolphin bias of this chart. Rats of the sea.

                      @rvaughnmd Wow, that is great fun!

                      However I assume the statistics are completely different when you include the effort to pave the road for efficient bicycle riding.
