gear, makes me a better runner? If i was to practice for one month, would i be able to RUN farther and faster?
 
It will not strengthen your shins or ligaments, and it uses completely different muscles, but it will increase your stamina.
It will help some, but you could develop stress fractures in your shins if you run too far too often.

My opinion would be false. I've been cycling for a long time but just recently took up running, and my legs are getting beat up the first 2 weeks. Cycling develops different muscles than running, so even if you may get your cardio trained, but your legs still need the running to build up the muscles specifically for running.

Also, pedaling on the hardest gear (resistance) may not be a wise thing to do, you could injure yourself especially if the seat is set too low.
