Introduction
Cycling is a great low-impact aerobic activity. Cyclists are usually more efficient on both hills and flat terrain when they pedal quickly (at about 80-85 rpm) rather than at slower cadences. Although cycling is considered a knee-sparing exercise because it does not require impact with the ground, the repetitive motion of pedalling can lead to a variety of overuse knee injuries. The majority of cycling injuries are indeed caused by overuse, which leads to cumulative tissue microtrauma and consequent symptoms. In overuse injuries the problem is often not acute tissue inflammation, but chronic degeneration

With a list like this (believe it or not, there is more too) I found it hard to do almost anything. No medical professional I saw seemed capable of giving me a diagnosis of what was causing my limp, pain, and growing loss of overall movement.

With a simple walk across her exam room, this doctor immediately recognized that my hips were the issue and my lower spine was only a contributor. The doctor immediately requested X-Rays. Those X-Rays revealed that my hips were best described by this doctor as, “Some of the worst hips I have ever seen in my 14 years of being a doctor”.
