Overall fitness effect: the method is even more professional and systematic, and the effect is almost the same if you stick to it.
The input cost is different: running is less than riding, or even much less. There is no follow-up investment in bicycle maintenance, repair and cleaning. Sports-level variable-speed bicycles for cycling or fitness, entry-level, with about 3,000 road bikes and 2,000 mountain bikes, are enough to buy two or three pairs of high-end running shoes from Nike or Adi. There are tens of thousands of high-end models that are light, fast, durable and ergonomically good, and there are tens of thousands more. Moreover, riding fitness also needs a lot of riding equipment, such as helmets, gloves, sunglasses, riding clothes, bags, lights, maintenance tools and so on. And the cost is generally more than running clothes and equipment. At home, you can buy a treadmill to run and a riding platform to ride. It is also the latter that invests heavily. After all, the riding platform needs a bicycle frame. And a good riding platform costs 1000 yuan (this investment is similar to that of a treadmill). In addition, in order to be effective and not boring, a monitor is needed to simulate road conditions and environment and compete with others on the Internet.
The requirements for road surface and traffic are different: the requirements for riding are high, even in areas with poor traffic, high-speed riding has higher requirements for bicycle braking performance and rider's response, otherwise collision accidents will easily occur.
Exercise does different harm to the body: running has a greater impact on the knees. However, it can be avoided or reduced by carefully learning how to choose the running mode and method that suits you, supplemented by professional equipment (such as pressure leg covers). ). Riding, on the basis that the figure corresponds to the frame size (specifically, it is the same reason to buy clothes and shoes with the right size according to the corresponding table of the height of a car given by the brand), the height of the cushion is correct, and there is no need to "step on your teeth", which has little damage to your knees, and even you have some recovery function (for example, I am a 30-year-old runner and don't know how to run correctly, so I hurt my knees. Later, I took exercise joint rehabilitation medicine and changed to cycling. At the age of 40, his knee had recovered.
