Discussing the specifics of stretching related to a bike ride is one thing,
but poo-pooing the whole concept because some lame study found no benefit is bizarre.
Doing limited range of motion activities, such as sitting and cycling with not much to counter it leads to
a body that is adapted to sitting and cycling, and little else.
That points to a later life hunched over and injury- prone.
Tight muscles and connective tissue can work fine within their limited range of motion,
but beyond that (i.e. bike crash) are more likely to tear.
