[Cyclelicious] New comment on Stiffer bikes for stronger bones and weight loss.

Art has left a new comment on your post "Stiffer bikes for stronger bones and weight loss":

Not so fast. The study was done at 90Hz and 0.2g. The frequency is just about right for riding over 4" cobbles at 20mph, but you'll probably need a pretty squishy bike to keep the acceleration that low. Vibrate too hard and you're killing cartilage faster than you're building bone.
