it's odd.
The studies about the negative effects likely apply to maybe 1000, 10,000 on the outside, in the us. Very rare.
Yet a lot of people presume it applies to them.
Yet there are numerous studies that show really positive results (admittedly on proxies for longevity) for long duration reasonably low intensity exercise... As well as studies support interval type exercises (again proxies for longevity).
This applies to almost everyone who rides, except perhaps a few those who race seriously, very seriously.
