And while we're at it, get that bike off the damned sidewalk.

An oldie (well, 2011) but a goodie. Thanks to DD for the link.

In Defense of Bicycling, by Brent Cohrs (ChicagoNow)

This is a blog that I shouldn't have to write; defending the health benefits of bicycling against a DOCTOR that is warning against it.

Seriously. A craniofacial surgeon posted a blog on Huffington Post dissuading individuals over 50 from riding bicycles. If you don't want to click on the link, allow me to summarize; he has recently observed an increase in the number of patients with facial injuries from cycling, so the risk of injury now outweighs the exercise benefit.
