Re: HPV bicycles 600+ mpg
Update, I rechecked and the article is wrong. The young engineer didn't allow for the food that he would have eaten even sitting watching TV all day. He only should have counted the extra food he ate to travel the 633 miles.
In my own case I don't eat anymore when I bike to work 20 miles each way than I do any other days. I may drink one extra sports drink. So just to be safe let's say you eat twice as much.
That would have you effective mpg on a bike over 1,200 mile per gallon of equal energy.
In my case it's more like 6,330 mpg since I hardly eat or drink more, maybe 1/10th more.
That is some pretty efficient travel. With only domestic organic foods eaten. No imported oil or pollution tp speak of. Now that's America the land of the FREE and home of the Brave !
