More evidence that mountain biking's alleged "health benefits" are

Hate these sensationalistic, unhelpful and unscientific conclusions.

You mean you hate hearing the truth? Because that's all I wrote. If
you want science, SUPPLY some, instead of just criticizing. (Of course
that means REAL science, not IMBA-style JUNK science.)

From a population's point of view, exercise is good and important.
That's a fact and not worth disputing. But taking it on an individual's
basis, one's preexisting condition may not be compatible with current
exercise regime. The net benefit is there, but it's bad form to use a
single person's adverse event to scaremonger exercise/biking in general.
