Now let’s not get too carried away with these results. Inactivity is associated with poor bone health as well, so if you love cycling or are a professional, this isn’t a doomsday prophecy. Cycling seems to be of little detriment to those who do it recreationally. If you are at risk for osteoporosis, or if you’re a professional, you may want to include both weight bearing exercise (e.g. weight lifting) and impact exercise (e.g. running) into your routine to help balance the impact on your bone health. As long as you pay attention to your bone health while cycling there’s no reason to not do what you love.
