It's the Heat - Part 2

I've had a little time to assimilate that whole calories verses Calories thing. I made the following post to our "go green" newsletter at work:

May 17th, 2013 is "Bike to Work Day".

Gasoline contains about 30,000 Kilogram Calories (the kind we use to measure food) per gallon. A car that gets 30mpg burns about 1000 Kilogram Calories per mile. The average person burns about 100 Kilogram Calories per mile walked – ten times more efficient than a car. When you ride a bike, you burn about 30 Kilogram Calories per mile. That’s about 33 times more efficient than a car. Biking really is the green way to travel ... and it's good for your heart!
