Running vs cycling vs swimming

1. Cycling - can buy cool gear

2. Swimming - hot bod

3. Running - scrawny anemic looking peeps in weird/scant attire

Cyclists are failed runners who let the machine do all the work.

cyclists literally sit on their asses doing nothing half the time.

swimmers are wannabe mermaids, they'd fit right into your typical disney film.

which leaves runners. superbly conditioned athletes with a bone density second to none.

If that’s the case, how come most runners suck at cycling? Also, the work in terms of wattage that a cyclist does is far greater than that of a runner.

Yep that wattage is crazy free wheeling down hills

One of the “appeals” of running to a “normie” would be its simplicity and relatively inexpensiveness, compared to the other two sports.

Again, why do most runners suck at cycling?

You’re assuming downhills always occur 🤡

Very high chance of dying from crashes and drowning in swimming and cycling. Pretty much every cyclist i know is now dead. I dont know any swimmers but thats probably because they drowned already.

Running is a safe pursuit.

This thread again?

All the runners I knew were eaten by mountain lions. Running makes you look like prey.

1) Running - low barrier to entry, if you hide your stats you can just lie on social media about how good you are. Easy to inspire the 5hour marathon joggers

2) Cycling - expensive to do properly & hard to do solo so need to find a group and decent location

3) Swimming - takes actual technique, can really do it with your Go-Pro or selfie stick out

Every swimmer that I know was eaten by sharks. Even at the YMCA pool - it's shark infested.

Charlie can't surf, I can't swim.

Swimming and cycling take so much time. You also need access to a decent for swimming and decent gear and access to decent roads for cycling.

Running is much easier to fit in and you get more bang for your time.

In CA, shorts and shoes at least half the year are all I needed for many years. Almost always anywhere could set out from my doorstep to do a run with only a basic plan to avoid traffic and predators. Simple, economical, interesting.

Tell me you know nothing about cycling without telling me you know nothing about cycling.

Running by far has the most participants.,,cost is low and no pool necessary. Next is likely cycling despite very expensive but more accessible than finding pools/lakes.

I can train for running 10-15 hours a week as a normal adult and be on a high level.

Cycling would require me to quit my job and train full time. Still fun to do recreationally due to the high speeds and bike handling skill involved.

I know nothing about swimming. Seems boring to be training in a pool most of the time.
