I am a former runner (80km/week Ave) with knees that creak like rusty doors. I started Cycle commuting 7 years ago...18km one way to downtown. In May of 2017 I had a complete hip replacement because of Arthritis. I’ve been retired since 2013 and just yesterday I completed a 134km ride (3000ft of climbing) from Riverside to SAN Clemente, California.
I would give anything to be able to run again...for me there was/is nothing like it.
That said cycling now has become a “close” second.....but....can’t see it ever being 1st! Take it from me it’s so much easier on the joints and the toll it takes on the body. I highly recommend cycling for anyone who wants to improve/maintain their fitness as well as those who are convalescing from injury.
Safe pedalling to all and GFG! E=NG
