Condor moment or Contador moment?

“I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list. That didn't look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away.”

Does that mean if you fed a condor a peanut and put him on a little bicycle, he could cycle round the world a couple of times?
