Cool new bike! I like the color - and the name suits it.

A few days ago I was watching a short clip about what is the most efficient mode of traveling. The graph measured the amount of distance traveled vs. the energy required. and in the graph they put all kinds of animals (fish, birds, cheetah, human), as well as technological modes, such as car, train, helicopter, etc.
It turns out that a human of bike is the most efficient land traveler (energy used vs. distance covered)

Sort:  

Hey well that doesn't suprise me! We watch a few bike packing youtubers that travel vast distances on them. All they need is a tent, a small burner and a bit of food and water and they can easily last a week and cover some distance! Oh and water. I always think if there was an efficient way to charge my ebike I'd go on a bike packing adventure with it... But I suppose I could just pedal without a motor lmao. The bicycle was probably man's best invention!!!!

I wonder if you can find a folding solar charger that you can adopt for your bike. Or even a small portable wind turbine so it can charge over night.

Also this kinda adds to the weight but your bike cant be without - tire repair kit and a pump.
