    Can't think how I missed it before but streets.mn has an excellent 'chart of the day' feature with all sorts of lovely graphs of interesting things.

    Here's one on cyclists running red lights before and after the signals were redesigned to include a bike scramble http://streets.mn/2014/05/19/chart-of-the-day-bike-compliance-and-traffic-signal-design/

    Here's one of the relevant efficiency of all sorts of creatures including 'man on bike' http://streets.mn/2014/05/22/chart-of-the-day-travel-efficiency-calories-per-gram-per-kilometer/

    Another one that is fun for the data geeks (I think it may already have been posted elsewhere)

    Perhaps if mice didn't waste so much energy sniffing they wouldn't be so high on the Y-axis.
    I suppose they have to measure what they can measure and have access to but I'd never expect anything airborne to be massively efficient unless it was a species that went in for a lot of soaring or use of the ground effect.

    So I'm more efficient going on holiday by cow than by jet plane? Whodathunkit!

    Also, the office finds the Spurious Correlations website most interesting.

    I was wondering about fly efficiency because the ones that get into our house seem to be able to circle the room for ever on no food at all.

    The figures for Albatrosses might be interesting

    The travel efficiency chart proves that fish do indeed need bicycles.
