I had a bone scan a few years ago and was shocked to hear that I had decreased bone density in my spine. In addition to cycling I've done marathons and half marathons for the last 18 years. The bone scan pushed me into upping my weight training in the gym, along with taking calcium supplements.
Different bodies will have different results, but you do need some sort of weight-bearing exercise to stress your bones in order to prevent bone loss as you get older.
