I shamelessly live 7km from the labs. Usually use bicycle or public
transport. With nice weather a walk or bit jogging.

Jogging makes around 20 mpg of water on a warm day. Cycling makes about
65 mpg. Water is not Evian, but local tap ;)

If I recall correctly, then bicycle was number one in efficiency of
transportation. Behind it was jet plane travelling at high altitude.
Cars were way behind.

Human efficiency at running was around 0.1% of energy converted to
kinetic energy and at walking around 1%; on bicycle however over 99%.

Now an aerodynamic sealed bike would be quite neat.
