I have a 90 yeear old uncle that says some of this might be bunkem. He
has religiously drunk a glass of milk each night throughout his life and
was rather annoyed when the quack said he had osteoporosis.

The article says it happened last month. December. She is supposedly from Michigan. Or has one of her mansions in Michigan. Or her Amway husband's mansion. I'm pretty sure its cold in Michigan in December. So bicycling accidents are kind of rare in December when its freezing cold. I live a couple hundred miles south of Michigan and there is NO bicycling in December in my state. Was she vacationing in the Bahamas or Caribbean when this accident occurred? Boss on vacation in the tropics while the poor education teacher peons have to work?


No cycling in December? It's around zero F here with 8" of
fresh snow and yet there's cycling in Wisconsin.

So she broke her hip. And I must say, I wonder about the risk of
breaking bones among the elderly. One of my cycling friends was told
she has enough osteoporosis (or perhaps a precursor condition) to
justify weight training and other measures. You'd never think this
by looking at her or talking to her, but she goes to a gym a few
times per week and lifts heavy things, because it's good for her bones.

My reference was to the famous study showing fewer lower
limb fractures among cyclists wearing helmets. What are you,
some sort of science denier?

We have people cycling in Montreal through the winter. I'm just not
usually one of them.

WTF is this marxist class struggle on a bicycle tech conference?

Out in Oz we called people like Russell "Pommie Wreckers"


Well Russell is convinced that with Socialism we could be as well off as Venezuela.

So X-rays lie. Interesting. Also interesting that you think that calcium more suited to adults isn't available in more than sufficient quantities in other foods less likely to cause digestive problems.

A large number of "papers" that have been cited as science are by post-grads and the largest pile of garbage possible. Going through the various science magazines which is supposed to keep you up to date is enough to turn your stomach. I especially like the Dark Matter "we found it" and the exact same experiment conducted at another location reveals nothing at all. One would think that the original experimenters would look for secondary means of noise causing false signals but instead they say "uh huh, we really did find it."

I laughed through a recent Science News at a report that
after the utter failure of 'xenon1t' to find anything at
all, a new antimatter theory postulating a new imagined
particle called axion [1] will require a new larger more
expensive detector installation.

[1] but probably not Michelin Axion which are discontinued
