Question Efficiency Graph ???

A few years ago I saw a graph representing relative efficiencies of different forms of transport (of course, the bicycle pissed on all else from a great height)

Does anyone know where I can find this (or similar) graph again? I've had a trawl on t'internet but to no avail.

Keep it wheel,

Steve

A few years ago?

"Scientific American" did an article that included such a graph around 25 or 30 years ago.

I saw it a few years ago. I've no idea whence it came.
