Rare and remarkable but it is possible !!
And in 365 days, Amanda Coker rode 86,573.2 miles on a bike. (Actually she used multiple bikes.) That's a 237.1 miles per day average. The only way to compare running and bike riding is to use a given heart rate and time. That will produce pretty equal energy expenditures. Otherwise, biking is much more efficient by a factor of 2 to 4.
