G'day, Did these articles include the cyclist's basal metabolic rate or were they using only the energy consumed in exercise which would have been the more valid comparison. In comparing air transport its very important to state whether its a long or short haul flight. The embodied eenrgy of the machine and the fuel also needs to be included for each mode of transport. I'd be very suprised given these parameters if kayaking with a high angle racing stroke on a steady diet of baked beans didn't turn out to be the most efficient form of transport there is and should be mandated by law for all citizens travelling anywhere. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
