I wonder if the higher speeds during cycling, drives air into the lungs at higher pressure, making breathing easier on the bike.

When I was a kid, I used to put my head out of the window of a Intercity 125 train(before the bridges ).If I faced the direction of travel, I just couldn't get My breath, and it wasn't as if there was a shortage of air.The air pressure was just to high.

During cycling it may well be that the breathing muscles are not worked as hard as when running, because of the above.Not completely sure though!
I weigh 81kg at the moment, still carrying some festive flab. happy at 79kg, I'm 6'2"

When I say decent climber on the bike, I've placed above average in some hill climbs, and I've done a couple of road races and faired ok, I've done a 22.44 10m tt 58.04 25tt. also got under 7hrs for the etape du dales.

My hr maxs are different for the bike than for the run, my bike max is 188 and run is 194. When running a 10k I feel like I'm blowing out my ar5e but doing a 10mile tt bike I feel the burn in the legs.
