[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the 3 mile runs 4-6 times weekly for 8 years, competed, finished a marathon, got runners high, check check.  Also had plantar in both feet, IT band injury, other aches was never that lean but running helped control a few pounds.  Then a road bike came into my life..for starters I can ride it hard for over an hour if not two hours so calorie wise its nearly triple vs run ( I could only run about 30-40 min).  One week down i've done 110 miles!  Don't feel my IT band!  Legs look different, skin too I sweated out tons of water.  I'm not tossing the running shoes out but they can have a break for a while.  Wish I had gotten on a bike a loong time ago[/quote]

If you like it more, awesome.  But don't think you're burning any more calories.  Riding a bike burns significantly less calories than running for the same amount of time does and most people don't want to work out longer for the same calorie burn.  Either way, neither biking nor running is going to do much for your weight. [/quote]
