Cycling. Coasting after climbs, wind on your face, and SPEED!3

I'll take both. Cycling is too cold in winter and running is too hot in summer. They are made for each other.16

I prefer cycling but that's only due to a family history of terrible knee's.
Before my back surgery I would cycle multiple times a week, did the ride to conquer cancer (200KM). I can't wait to get back on the bike this summer.1 -
Where I live the only way to do a decent bike ride safely is to drive to a rail trail that's an hour away or ride on the side of a busy highway. We have few roads with anything resembling a bike lane, and with rolling terrain, there are a lot of blind corners. When running, I can always jump into a ditch or run on the grass if I hear a car coming and know they can't see me around the bend or over the hill. That's not as easy on a bike. In town is even worse. There are no bike lanes. At least when running, I can go on the sidewalk, uneven as it is. Bikes can't do that.0

I prefer cycling, but only because it's enjoyable.
I like that it's something I can do from my front door, or that I can use it for transportation through beautiful places. Ride from town to town, stop for lunch, go over a mountain pass and enjoy the free, fast ride down the other side...0 -
Cycling is fun until you got to fix that flat. Ugh. I like hiking better!2

I have a preference (of the two) for running but what I'd like to point out is that:
- Get a group of experienced runners together and the conversation will eventually turn to their numerous injuries
- Get a group of experienced cyclists together and the conversation will eventually turn to their expensive equipment
take from that what you will11 -

Accurate! And funny.
I do both but I'm more of a runner at heart, my bike is just a form of transportation rather than recreation. If running was as fast as cycling I'd probably never ride again...but then, I don't have an expensive bike0 -

ohhh pretty! the only problem with having a bike that has 650cc wheels - finding race wheels that fit is a PITA1

I believe HED's H3s come in a 650. I'm biased though... I friggin love those wheels.0 -

Cycling can be done all year! It just takes the right clothes and bike to do it up north. Yes it is more expensive, but there are more group events too. Cycling is just more social and a great way to clear your head!

Trek Speed Concept TriBike - I can find Zipp's but even then 650cc are cost prohibitive
my LBS did a fit and recommended frame sizes - but the cannondale that would have gotten me to 700cc would have required more tweaking than my LBS thought it was worth0
