Health: Bad to the Bone

It’s official: cycling can harm your bones. But takethe rough with the smooth, says Neil Pedoe, there’s plenty you can do to keep them healthy.

This is the opening line from one of the features on the home page.

Basically if you just do road riding you'll mess up your body but if you include more impact sports you won't hve this problem. (I've taken the imore impact sport as Mountain Biking)

Have a read, because to me it sounds like what they need to say is "road ridng is gonna mess you up, but Mountain Biking is all good"

    Plus MTB'ers are obviously more fertile what with wearing baggies rather than heat inducing ball sticking lycra

    You can imagine my delight to read that, I've already got bloody osteoperosis, now apparently the sport I took up to help me recover from an injury I got because of the bloody osteoperosis gives me bloody osteoperosis.
