It’s the cycle of life.
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.
Although previous studies have already shown several benefits of cycling, new research now shows that people who cycle regularly have significantly less chance of developing osteoarthritis by the age of 65, according to NPR.
The study, which was published last month in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, surveyed 2,600 people with an average age of 64 about their lifetime exercise habits. All of the participants were at an elevated risk for developing knee arthritis due to either the weight, family history or other previous injuries. Researchers also took X-rays of participants to evaluate the arthritis in their joints.

Ah....super fast learner. :-)
Is this your first time being a member of FR?
Again, welcome.
I’m not certain where you’re trying to go, but maybe this helps satiate your curiosity-

Typo’d the year wrong, should be 2000.
Oh, okay ... an admitted retread :-)
What was your original (since 2000) FR name?
“Retread” comes across as a bit insulting =o/
Speaking of retreads, over 90% of commercial airliner tires are retreads
Nice distraction, from my question :-)
What was your previous (banned) nick?
Thx.
Not every question requires an answer
Okay, retread.
:-)
Rude
Evasive.
I ride 150 miles a week on gravil roads mostly. Up to 6 hours ata time with no knee pain. But if i walk around much on any day i can barely walk without knee pain.
“Not every question requires an answer” can be translated as “not really your business”.
Any other personal information you want to know?
No, just what your old FR name was, since you’re an admitted retread.
No reason to get snippy about it.
:-)
That is a great testament, to bike riding.
I’m in good company with many here who have done the same.
Kindly take your passive aggressive comments elsewhere and don’t ping me again.
Quite telling.
