I wrote "On average, as cyclists age, their shoulder widths diminish. ..." If one any riders break collarbones, they bring down that average. Those who do it multiple times bring it down more. (I know someone who has attends both motorcycle and bicycle trade shows. Wheelchairs are common at the first, narrow and crooked shoulders at the second.)

This observation was written in fun but it is straight up fact..
