I’m pretty sure they meant most efficient in terms of emissions, not energy conversion. Even if you count farting as emissions, bikes put out basically no emissions. You’d have to get 100% of your electricity from renewables to match them in an electric car.

That's not because they're efficient, it's because they use almost no energy in the first place.

Poor energy conversion means more emissions. 🤦‍♂️

Are you honestly going to tell me that you think a person riding a bicycle produces more emissions than a person driving a car?
