An unknown blogger, netizen DM me 9 point questions regarding biking for seniors. Though I do not know much about him, and the qurestions were straight forward, I answered him promptly. I told him too that I was with Kara David in 400 km bike ride to Bicol
The questions center on benefits of biking, and how biking should be:
1. Biking develops posture, you dont stoop or do duck walk;
2. Better breathing
3. Long life
4. Lesser maintenance medicine
5. Being more positive, happier
6. Having stronger bones.
The theory is that brittle bones is not caused solely by lack of Vit D and Calcium but by weaker muscles. So you have to exercise if possible using weights. Lifting weights develope muscles which makes bones stronger.
7. Freedome from Sarcopenia. As we age, our muscle mass depletes. Only exercise can partially stop that or stop that.
So bike more exercise more
More power to his web site...
