Biking is wildly more efficient than running. Heck, if you’re on the large side (250-300pounds), you burn as much energy (~0.25kWh or ~200Calories in terms of human food, which—unless you’re eating almost entirely bulk staples like corn meal—has a really high footprint, especially fruit and meat) to run a mile as it takes to drive a Model 3 for that same mile. Biking is a quarter that. (Walking is a bit more efficient than running, but not much.)


Okay thanks for confirming, that's about what I was remembering, but it was such a big different I was unsure. The car really puts it in perspective
