Theres no disadvantage at all. Cycling is an awesome excercise as well. I alterntate between running and biking all the time.....

However, i prefer using SPIN bikes. IMO its a better feel and excercise. Unfortunately, i don't see it that many gyms....and if i do, theres only a few. The electronic excercise bikes usually found at the gym i find doesnt give that smooth of a cycle when you hit higher resistences.

Secondly, if the spin bikes are in use, i will use the recumbent bike. Also a good excercise if you don't want to put any pressure on your hip...and its a better excercise for your hip flexors and core on higher resistences.
