Serious Cyclists May Develop Low Bone Density

By Rob - Posted on 27 July 2009

Seems cycling may be a bit too low impact for some...

However, it's not all bad news:

Earlier studies have shown that mountain bikers tend to have better bone densities than road cyclists...

Wonder if 20 years of squash prior to being a cycling convert means I'll be safe?

sounds to me like you are doomed, you may as well just give into your secret desire to ride on the road

Weight training - pump classes, circuit is also a good way to maintain bone density. Anything where you are on your feet an bopping around
