One thing i noticed after cycling, is that my posture got better, and my back pains are gone.
I think that's prove enough that it's good for your bones.

I wonder though about those of us who also tour for long distances or do things like centuries. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to incorporate some weight lifting or at least some extra calcium into the mix.
