Cycling has its own risks as it can reduce bone density if you cycle instead of walking or other forms of exercise.

How much Cycling do you have to do for that to become a credible risk though? I am imaging quite a bit more than a daily commute.

Cycling doesn't directly cause loss of bone mineral density. Ride as much as you like.

The issue is that some people use cycling as their only form of exercise. For bone health you need to mix in other high impact exercises such as running and weightlifting.

Make every other ride a mountain bike ride and you will have no issues with bone density.
