I’ll be honest, as someone who loves riding bikes, I’ve always felt that running is (tongue in cheek) for chumps.

I’ve finished 200mi rides and loved them. I’ve finished intense 80mi races and loved them. I’ve been on rides with over 15,000ft of climbing in a day. I loved them. I’ve passed 75,000ft of climbing in a week and loved that too!

I’ve never enjoyed a run, but I’m hard-pressed to think of a bike ride I didn’t enjoy. Give it a shot!

Ditto this.

Cycling for me is very fulfilling, unlike running.

That said, there's something to be said for using just your own body and very little equipment else.

Some people seem to really enjoy running, and I wouldn't want to deny them that.
