as stated above, running is boring. You can't run fast, even if you are a fast runner. Running is lousy as a transportation mode.
Low moral fiber? I'm not saying cyclists are going to go beat up old ladies or shotput puppies. I was just wondering if cyclists had a different mindset/attitude toward their sport. Running is significantly cheaper ($100 for shoes, another $100 for socks, shorts and other technical wear as opposed to easily thousands in cycling), running gives you a similar connection to your surroundings and it offers a 'better' workout. Additionally, and this is in ignorance, but I would suppose that running allows you to learn more about yourself since there is no 'coasting' and you do have to dig deeper to complete a distance race. Maybe after I bike for a while I'll feel differently; I'm still getting my feet, or tires, wet.
