Just to share some differences in preferences: I've walked a ton. Run a bunch. And now cycle.
Cycling feels like free energy, way more flowy, and far more engaging, like it's a videogame, in the sense that I'm constantly making micro-inputs for debris, cracks, choosing clean lines, scanning what's around me, etc.
Only dimension where cycling feels way more intense than walking and running are on the hill climbs, but I oddly like the pain that comes with it. Couldn't say the same for intense running efforts (of the half-marathon threshold to VO2 max variety).
Walking feels like it just takes forever. But in new cities, it's a nice way to get a feel of the various pockets and districts. And on hikes in national parks and such, you don't really have much of a choice.
CYCLING BABY, YEAH.

My endurance bike has a 33T chain ring in the front, and a 36T gear in the back - so less than one to one ratio. I can get over just about any climb in my area without much exertion. It’s definitely slow going, though!
