Cycling benefits:

Can go further, better for adventuring
Funner
Doesn't wear out joints, purely energy expenditure as the bike takes all the damage

Cycling cons:

Can be dangerous, got to always be on alert for cars
Having to obey traffic laws
You have to buy a bike


Running benefits:

More calories burned
Can go into more places than cycling
Better conditioning
More muscular development built (if any)

Running cons:

Wears out joints quicker
People may block you on the sidewalk
Can't travel as far as cycling
Less adventure



Thoughts?

You can save your joints if you run properly, usually its just the knees that get fucked up by people with poor form wearing some terrible shoes. But all these things depend on what distance you run and at what speed, long distance runners have less muscle development than people running quicker for shorter distances, same is true with cycling.

I think the best form of cardio is probably walking on a incline treadmill or skipping (jump rope)
