shootingstar Posted September 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2018 Don't know how I do it but I've lived in 3 major Canadian cities --Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary, where I've lived less than 1 km. away from each city's favourite destination for near start/end of major jogging /cycling events. I mean nearly every weekend there is an event. Several thousand people. In winter, it dwindles to at least 50-100 people. So sometimes I have to plot my cycling earlier or later or avoid. It's ok..and not a big deal. Just strangely coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when I cycle slow, I'm still ahead. I know it's wrongful thinking. Anyway, I'm saving my knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little research (and it's truly little) does not show there is a significant risk. I like running and riding both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have family members who jog or have jogged ie. 5-10 km. each run, run a marathon. They see cycling as a whole lot lesser, even with a damaged knee.

ChrisL Posted September 23, 2018 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2018 I live near a major shopping center that is marketed as a tourist destination. The place is an absolute zoo during the holidays. I also live near the beach so traffic is horribly on weekends from Memorial to Labor Day. Oh and the County Fair is nearby and for 4 weeks traffic is nuts. Yeah I live in SoCal but I also live near several destination points so have to plan my travel accordingly given the time of the year or it could take me an hour to travel a few miles.

I have a brother and a sister who both have terrible bone spurs and arthritis like I do. I was the only runner of the three of us and the only one who still does (treadmill) run. I often blame my running on my arthritis and bone spur but it could be just plane ole genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
