Is it morally acceptable to simply stop after you ride a bicycle, or is there a moral imperative to go for a run, even just a small one to “flush the legs out”?
One should always run after the bike
One should not always run after the bike, but one should feel deeply ashamed if not doing so
It’s criminal not to run if you have the time.

I don’t care to run after every bike, but I have taken to doing run warm-ups on the turbo. Morning runs are painful without a little spin first.

I very rarely run off the bike. A few key sessions before a race and that’s it.
To be fair, I’ve always found rotb pretty natural and I don’t struggle to get into a rhythm or anything.

Are you a cyclist or a triathlete, answer that question and you will know.

Meh that’s relativism! Everyone should run after the bike, always!

When it’s warm out, yes.
When it’s 2 degrees out and I’m drenched in sweat, no.

Nah, no running off the bike until the day before a race.

2021: 3 races, 4 bricks.
The 4th was just because I bike commuted home from work before a planned run.

I’ll undercut you
2021: 2 races, 2 bricks and one of those was when the rear derailleur snapped on my MTB and I happened to be wearing trainers.
I like riding a bike, I like going for a run. But rarely both together unless the terms of the event require it.
I mean, you’ve just wolfed down a chunk of stilton. Do you immediately go hunting for the gorgonzola? This is a rhetorical question btw.

Spat on my cyclists and triathletes alike. This is the habit of the d🤮athlete.

Presumably a cycle run cycle is less frowned upon than a run cycle run

Now there’s a civilised alternative.
Could be a workout, could be a cycle to the park run and cycle back.

I often find myself running before a cycle - happens more often than a runoff
