Riding a bike uses less energy than running. Different sets of muscles are involved in each activity. Also, there is no impact with each step on a bike. You really can't compare the two activities on an apples-to-apples basis. Ask people who do triathlons. Running and biking are very different even to the well-trained athlete.

Cycling is a lot more efficient then running or even walking. You are only using your legs muscles and not having to hold up your own weight. Keep running and you will be able to go longer.
