Protip: people riding faired bicycles aren't transporting anyone but themselves from their car to their car. No one commutes on a fucking faired bicycle.

'Airship, 1936' is way out there! Not bad for today, let alone back when horses were still a thing. Suprised they could push that huge gas volume through air so cheaply.
The fuel value of human power is kinda ify. You can measure the thermal power, but the 'fuel' takes plenty more fuel to grow, ship, store, and prepare.

Same thing applies to gas and electricity really. Electrified trains don't run on magic.

You'll know the airlines mean business when boarding starts to consist of climbing into a capsule on a rack and putting on your complementary airline diaper while a forklift hauls your rack into the plane.

They've tried to address that with the 'emissive economy' scale on the right, assuming Denver grid 2007. Arbitrary but reasonable. Don't see anything like that for athlete fuel.

People need some amount of exercise just to stay healthy and mentally sound, so bicycle commutes essentially use energy you'd expend anyway to stay in shape.
