Both exercises are good for the body. However because I am a cyclist, I would say riding a bike would be the best form of exercise.
Fact: It is easier for a person who walks/jogs or runs on a daily basis to become a cyclist easier than a cyclist trying to become a runner.

Why would riding a bike be more tiring than walking?
Looking at the strict physics and mechanics of it, it shouldn't be. A bicycle is one of the most efficient travelling machines humanity has ever invented. With the ability to coast, and for the saddle to carry some of your body weigh, covering a set distance on a bicycle should consume less energy than doing it walking. The most probable reason why riding a bike feels more tiring is that you're simply not used to it. Bicycle riding uses a slightly different set of muscles than walking, so if you aren't a regular rider, these muscles will tire quickly. And while it's quite easy to avoid riding a bicycle, almost all people walk at least some distance daily. Those muscles almost always get some amount of daily training. Other options include: - a poor riding position. Saddle too low will restrict your leg extension and make the pedaling motion inefficient. - not using it right. Humans - like all engines - have a span of resistance and rate-of-turning where we are as most efficient. For bicycle riding this is generally agreed to be at a cadence - rate-of-turn on the pedals - between 80-100. To many rookie riders this feels unnaturally high, and they insist on grinding it out by pedaling slow-and-hard instead. And tire quickly. If you are using a geared bike, select a gear that lets you pedal at 80-100 rpm. Pedaling fast-and light is the ticket to efficient riding. - a bike in poor condition. Low tire pressure, dragging brakes, rusty chain, stiff bearings etc. All these and more can rob a fair bit of efficiency from a bicycle. - trying to ride in really poor road conditions. A bicycle is a wonderfully efficient travelling machine - as long as it's rideable. When road conditions gets so poor that you're down to a walking pace or even pushing the bike, then you'd be better off without it. - the enjoyment factor gets the best of you. Maybe riding is simply so much fun that you go at it harder, thus making yourself more tired than what walking had made you for the same amount of time.

What is the best kind of bicycle?
There's no such thing, you might as well ask for the best tool, the best meal or the best whatever. The best bicycle is the one that's most suited for what you want to do with it. BMX bikes suck if you want to go places, but are great for riding around doing tricks and jumps. Hybrids, tourers and road bikes are great for going places, but wno't do well on anything more strenuous than a garden path. The most all round ir probably an XC MTB. It can cover some decent distances and will still stand up to fairly rough riding with some jumps and stuff..
