The bike will in most cases use less calories to travel the same distance. Absolutely. But, That is not the same, as being energy efficient. Energy efficiency is a measurement of input (energy) to output (work).

If you're driving a Reliant robin. You will probably surpass the muscle powered bike in both Calories consumed and energy efficiency.

That doesn't mean the bike won't be more environmentally friendly.
