Got hit by Snow last week and Bicycling was not possible. Running was.That's when I realized, Bicycling is harder. Here is why:
1. I definitely didn't miss Trucks roaring by me three feet away.
2. You can really go very fast and punish yourself very hard on a Bicycle. At 60, the best I can do is a 8 minute mile. My legs are slow and wooden now. Running is relaxing.
3. Running three miles takes maybe 30 minutes and all you do is slip on shoes. To Bike takes almost two hours and you need to pack on layers of clothing, emergency lights and tools.
4. Pedestrians on a Trail always wave to you when you are running. Lets say this, not every pedestrian loves Bicyclers.
5. All those %^* repairs drive me crazy.
6. I definitely didn't miss Trucks roaring by me three feet away. And Like I said, you can really get a tough workout on a Bike.
If my knees were younger, I'd still be...( ) Bicycling? I don't know, because after a year and a half of Bicycling, running was very Easy.
