For people who aren't significantly overweight, running actually benefits your knees, too. It can stimulate cartilage repair.
I put biking under the "healthy hobby" category...similar to playing basketball, golfing, etc. It's good exercise, but you've got to be pretty intense if you expect it to see physical changes to your body from it.
