I disagree, but I get the point. The easy thing about riding is that you can coast a lot and take it easier, while running requires a constant effort. Certainly the calorie burn on a century is going to be way more than a ten-mile run, but the difficulty with either depends a lot on how much or how little one puts into it. And sitting on a splitting wedge can become a bit painful after five hours.
