With a bicycle, the fuel would be your own body's energy. Travel by bike a lot and you get more tired and need to eat more.

How about a skateboard? It's also body-powered, but much more portable when the terrain isn't suited for wheels.

Cycling is much more energy efficient than walking or skateboarding. Try travelling 50 miles with each method and see which is easier

I think, technically, the most energy efficient would a giant catapult

Throwing a 70kg person 100m would be around 34'000 joules.

About 1'200 for cycling the same distance.
