Biking is a more energy-efficient form of transportation than a car. This is because the only energy needed and wasted when biking in to propel yourself and your biking using energy you create. A car on the other hand needs more energy to propel a car with a larger weight and mass and it also has a lot of byproducts and wasted energy. A car also uses a process that requires a larger amount of energy to propel it, including its motor and gas. Bikes are a less popular form of transportation even though they are more energy-efficient than cars. Biking is more difficult for the user and takes much longer than driving. A redesigned car may be more energy-efficient if it has less weight or mass. Although cars need a large weight and mass to protect the ones inside at such a high speed and to also hold the heavy machinery needed to propel them. Lighter and smaller weight and masses within cars allow a more energy-efficient form of transportation. This is also why busses are more energy-efficient than cars because more people can get to their locations at the same speed but instead using one bus instead of many cars for individuals.
