Answer 2

How Much Time do you have?

If you dont have much time...bike.

if you have as much time as you need..run.

If you dont have much energy...bike.

If you have A LOT of energy...run.

I'd take an iPod either way.

Answer 5

From a physics point of view, it takes the same amount of 'energy' to move the weight of your body two miles by foot or bike. Of course you need to add the weight of the bike which would require more energy. The difference comes into play when you start to factor in any extra energy you may put out for acceleration, speed etc. So a lot depends on "how" you run or bike, not just the terrain.
