cardio is good but make sure you are doing a full body resistance routine as well.
as for the pro's and con's of biking/runing
Biking Pro's -easier on the joints -can be used as transportation which adds extra benefit of cardio + efficiency --easy to change resistance without hurting yourself (sprinting can be hard on the knees, cycling fast not so much)
Con's - Easy to adapt to so you might find it's not giving you as good of a workout as running after a certain amount of time - maintenance - bike's are not cheap and a 100 dollar walmart special will not do well..bike's require proper alignment and fitting in order to make sure you're riding properly - safer to run then to bike...gotta deal with traffic, harsher conditions (strong wind, colder) and all that shit
Running Pro's - easy - go out the door and run - easy to adjust - you can walk, jog, run, sprint and don't need to change gears - you can run anywhere - bike's need a trail. you can just run outside or run in place if need be
con's - fucking hard as hell on the joints - can be expensive when you add in proper foot wear, proper seasonal clothing potential physical dangers
my advice? Get a recumbant bike...easy, cheap, small...
