I do a spin class twice a week if that counts.

[Yo-Yo]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t count.

Bike riders also more likely to be hit by cars. Most of the people I know who ride regularly have been hit at least once.

I have a stationary bike with a basket on the front to hold my chips and beer

And if you do have osteoarthritis, the first thing the physical therapist will do is put you on the exercise bike.

Once the weather gets decent I do about 50 miles a week on my old (1980s- era) 12-speed.

I used to play a ton of basketball, and would work out on my bike to keep "game-ready" instead of running a few miles a day.

After 30 years of running and then a shredded meniscus and a fractured femur, I switched to cycling and now exercise again without pain.

Bicycling is great - until you fall off and hit your knee, elbow or shoulder

Swimming is even better - low impact exercise.

One of my brothers rides quite a bit, both road and mountain bikes, because his knees have been replaced and can’t take the jarring of running. Every year he does his “birthday ride” of one mile for each year of his age. No problems for his 72nd birthday two weeks ago.

I prefer walking, myself, even if it does take more time compared to running or cycling. Still got my original knees, though.

Neither cycling or swimming is weight-bearing which diminishes benefits somewhat.

Lots of jogging wears out the joints.

Walking hits the sweet spot for me.

When you have no cartilage in your knees, nothing helps

Low to medium resistance and cadence will certainly re-track a patella injury in short order, depending on the severity of the injury.

Not a doctor here, just a FRoctor here, who runs and has dealt with it.

[RitchieAprile]

I have a precor upright bike that goes nowhere and do 10mile rucks with 40lbs twice a week.

Hubby has been an extreme cyclist for about 40 years, and now is a bundle of back pain. It’s hampered his daily living and he finds no relief in spite of consulting many doctors.

[catnipman]

“Lifelong bicyclers may live longer, have stronger immune systems and are less likely to experience knee pain or osteoarthritis, than people who don’t ride bikes.”

except for all the ones biking on highways who get hit by cars ...

I was thinking about buying an electric bicycle. that counts, don’t it?

Just don't get deep into spandex gear queers and groups and sniffing other roadie masher's butts. Most obnoxious dickwads you'll ever meet.

Well, except for mt. bikers. :^)
