My road bike consumes energy bars! And fruit!

Surprisingly enough, this makes acoustic bikes less carbon efficient per unit distance than electric ones, depending on the details of your diet. Of course, once the emissions are that low, this is more a curiosity than actionable insight (beyond the typical "less meat/dairy = lower emissions").

What a coincidence, my cargo bike that regularly takes 50kg of cargo runs on the same stuff !

I get 30 miles per sandwich! Beat that EV owners! :P

  • What's in that sandwich though? The Cybertruck using California non-renewable energy creates 162g of CO2 per mile. A sandwich full of lamb generates 666g. A sandwich of lentils does 40g.
