I have been biking a lot lately instead of running. I really don't enjoy running and only do it to get exercise. Sometimes I will run the occasional 5K. The thing is, now that I am biking, I am afraid that I won't get a sufficient workout and will get soft and no longer be able to run as far. Does bking produce a sufficient cardio workout or do I really need to run/jog to maintain myself? I know that it probably depends on distance and speed biked, but I am just asking in general whether biking provides sufficient cardio workout.

When biking, I feel like my limitation is more in the strength of my legs. While running, I definitely feel like I have heavy lungs and can feel my heart pounding.
