I know you hate running, and would probably jump right onto the bike 100% as soon as you are able. But if you ever do consider running regularly, I would suggest you look into one of the many Couch-to-5K programs (C25K) out there. It's a beginning runner's training program geared to build your endurance over an 8 or 9 week schedule.
Alan T started his running not too long ago with C25K, and look where he is now.
Radii did it before he dumped/modified it to a program more suitable for him.
Dodgerchick and I are using a variation of it called Zombies, Run! 5K Trainer app for iOS and Android.
Like Alan said, don't worry about speed right now. Look at me. I'm at 16:00 min pace, running probably 80% of my route. A week from now, I'll be completing my 5K training with a 5K race, and will hopefully be able to run the entire 5K without having to walk a single step.
Just two months ago, I couldn't run 30 seconds without thinking my heart is going to explode.
