Cycling can RUIN Women's Bodies

[BorderReiver]

It must be true, the Daily Mail says so (in graphic detail!).

Gutter journalism at its worst or a valuable warning to half the population?

No idea by browser refuses to open up the link it claims it is a dangerous site to which I can't disagree

Of course it can - as can going to the gym, and most other sports - for most people they don't.....but yes it can !

* And blokes as well !

Any woman cycling enough miles to suffer these sort of issues is not going to be getting her advice from the Daily Heil

I must be missing something. What was wrong with the article itself ?

Because it isn't really news.

For the vast majority of people cycling will improve your overall health.

The problems discussed do exist - but there are options to address them, bike fit, stretches, and gym work.

It wants me to disable my AdBlocker for the privilege of reading it's page. Given that 173 ads are being blocked, I don't think so; DM..

Not exercising will ruin them even quicker.

This has been widely reported in the past (In reference to pros / endurance riders) and not by the DM

I'm not sure why the word 'ruin' warrants capital letters. IIRC this issue has been discussed here before. I understand that it is a real issue with some pro riders even having to resort to labiaplasty. How much of a problem it is for the average female cyclist I don't know but... I'm a bloke so it's not really for me to say.

Ah, I remember now, this was my take on it a couple of years ago...

I'm sure it won't stop others having a view

Why is everyone flapping about this?

Good question.

It'll be curtains for females cycling.
