But the traveler is going to eat roughly the same amount whether he rides the bike or drives so there is little marginal carbon impacts from riding while 100% of the car emissions are marginal (since the alternate scenario produces none).
It was the energy differential that was calculated. It was, originally, mostly a dig at how carbon inefficient beef farming was.
the part I think you are missing is the human can only eat so much because it takes not as long to go by car or train as opposed to walking
