Not to mention a car, while more "Caloric" effecient at burning gas then humans burn caloric food takes a lot more energy to maintain, store & manage.
I also ride my bike to a local farmers market where i buy ogranic foods.. so no (oil baseD) pesticides, no cross country/world shipping

it's bike vs. subway. the car never factors in.
