Right. I ride a bicycle every day... almost. If the weather is bad but not terrible, I'll run a few miles. If I haven't run for a couple months, when I do I can expect my legs to be a little sore the next day. I figure it's mainly because of higher peak loads when running. Cycling is a pretty smooth thing to the legs compared to running.
