That depends on your objectives. If you are interested in increasing your cardiovascular endurance and/or fat loss, cycling is the better method, but you need at least 20 minutes to be effective. You also need to be sure that you are elevating your heart rate to 70-80% of your maximum rate.
Walking is a very, very light (low impact) exercise that won't burn calories at the rate cycling will. It's appropriate for people who cannot, for health reasons, elevate their heart rate to 70% and sustain it for 20+ minutes.

Depends how high the resistance on the bike is. The bike should be set on whatever resistance makes you REALLY tired (not dead, but almost) when you're done. It's tough to get any kind of good workout in 15 minutes, but walking burns calories very very slowly.

The better one is the one that you're going to stick with. If it's a pain to go cycling, then you won't do it.
Mixing it up is probably the best thing, if they're both easy to do. They work different muscles.

15 min cycling as you are exercising your feet and hand when stearing and also getting the psycomotor skills into gear learned in pe class
