I would think that it would be about the same effort wise, but running on a treadmill would put more stress on your legs from the constant impact, if you have a foot problem or something. A stationary bike has a more circular flowing motion, but exercise on it focuses a lot more on the thighs than your entire leg.

A exercise bike is better because you can get hurt on the treadmill but not on the exercise bike.
