The beauty of cycling is that you can go so much farther and see so much more than with running. You probably run the same routes over and over but with cycling you can get a workout in and explore all over your area for the same energy expenditure. I ran for 30 years before transitioning to cycling. With cycling you can get the same workout in the same time you would run if you really dial it up or go climb some steeps. If you wear a HRM for running, do the same with cycling and get your heart rate up til the same level and you will not be disappointed. Besides with running you don’t get the payoff of coasting down a hill and working your butt of climbing.
