I agree, they should have tried standing. I have never found that running or cycling worked nearly as well as walking. You can't lose yourself in thought in those activities -- too much alertness is required. Maybe a slow jog, or very slow bike ride, on a very smooth trail with no traffic of any kind would work, I don't know. But in general I haven't found these conducive. What has worked very well for me, though, is 15 minutes of vigorous running followed by 60 - 90 minutes of walking.
