I've been a gym member since '79 and a distance rider since '95. I have osteoporosis, have been treated for it for 5 years with little progress because I'm also cycling. I'm not the only one. When was your last DEXA scan? I had no idea. Never had a fracture and I fall all the time (skiing) and have been on the floor a couple times recently from a syncope. Maybe I'm good at falling.
