I have a STW calendar above my desk. The odd patient has passed
comment”

odd not as in occasional I presume

My Mr’s is a GP, a sort of cyclist, she has a pashley and an e-bike.

I was doing my tubeless tyres in the kitchen a while back and I explained how it all works, I got the withering look and whatever.

The following week she had an MTB’r in and she said they got around to talking about tubeless tyres, she said he was very impressed with her knowledge, especially comparing ghetto to stans!

Also started talking about local trails!

My GP also MTBs , when I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis the consultant told me I should never ride off road again Talked with GP he said he was just covering himself , carry on but be careful , even wrote a covering letter for insurance when I went to Whistler for the season ! That was 2010 and my bone density has been improving ever since

I am not an orthopod (and my main interaction with them is limited to dispensing sarcasm from the other side of the BBB during my weekly all-day trauma list) but I thought MTBing was meant to be good for bone density, and it was road cycling that wasn’t?
