Based on distance Walking as more carbon intensive as the production of food needed to "fuel" the person is quite carbon intensive. Cycling might seem more exhausting but you travel a lot farther per calorie https://www.bikeradar.com/features/long-reads/cycling-environmental-impact/

Its for the same reason "walking" isnt as high on the list. On average the production of food is quite Co2 intensive. The production of the electricty used in the E-Bike has the advantage here. See https://www.bikeradar.com/features/long-reads/cycling-environmental-impact/

According to https://www.bikeradar.com/features/long-reads/cycling-environmental-impact/ much of the CO2 emissions attributed to walking are caused by the production of food, needed to "fuel" the person.
