A typical us Semi truck carries around 200 gallons of fuel (up to 400 if DDG is to be trusted).

That’s Fuel Energy Content =7490kWh with a Usable Electricity =2247kWh

But more importantly it’s much dirtier and spread out in our cities when it diesel powered. Also it’s delivering food, medicine and clothing with those nik-naks.

    I’ve been digging out and saving those 35 y/o bikes from my youth recently. Most of the shimano trigger shifters have failed, but otherwise you can just lube stuff up, adjust the cantilevers and put new tubes in and go. Those bikes are dead easy to keep on the trail.
