As someone who quit running not long after getting to the point I get runners high, you have a point, but also different people can thrive on different forms of cardio. When I ran i found myself rapidly overheating and just generally miserable until I was stoned on feel good chemicals. Bicycling on the other hand was fun enough from the start that I wasn't struggling to force myself to do it.

When I bought my bike I was struggling to get myself out running every other day. Things like stopping for water made me feel like I was failing. By switching to a different form of cardio, one that I enjoyed, I was able to get into shape without the constant urge to give up. It also came with my knees not hurting.
