Question 1

what are the most common injuries that occur in bareback bronc riding?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Knee and shoulder injuries are the most common in riding. About 10% of injuries are head injuries such as concussions, facial fractures, and lacerations to the face. These are the ones you should worry about because most riders don't use helmets.

Question 2

is bike riding a good exercise?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is a good aerobic exercise and helps strengthen your heart and increases endurance esp if you ride more than 10 mph. If you ride at lower speeds, try to work up to 150 minutes per week. If you do vigorous rides, 75 minutes per week is recommended. Since cycling is not a weight bearing exercise it won't strengthen bones, so it's good to do other types of exercise too like strength training.

Question 3

what risks will my child with syncope have riding a bike?

Accepted Answer

Be very careful: Not recommended to ride bike with history of syncope.  One accident could be disasterous.   Check with the doctor that diagnosed the syncope.

Question 4

what exactly does it mean when my bra keeps riding up in front?

Accepted Answer

Bra support: It means that the bra that you are wearing is likely not correctly sized. Up to 85% of women in america are wearing an incorrect bra size. Encourage you to go to a specialty bra shop for proper fitting and a bra that will fit your needs.

Question 5

can bicycle riding 35 miles a few times a week be bad for my back?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The answer depends on your posture and form as you ride, as well as how well the bike you're riding fits your body. Back pain often arises from poor posture or forcing the muscles that are mainly used for posture to bear much heavier loads. If you are hunching over the bars and feel a strain in your low back as you ride, you could easily develop pain or stiffness and you can easily injure yourself.

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you feel good without residual aches or pains and you do extension spinal stretching, no problem.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Falling: Falling from a horse can cause significant injuries, including head, chest, abdominal, and musculoskeletal injuries. In the absence of a fall, I am unaware of other significant risks of horseback riding.

Question 8

is bike riding a bad exercise for kidney ?

Accepted Answer

No: Bike riding is a good exercise. If you are a male, you need to watch out for pressure on the pudendal nerve. Keeping the seat tipped forward helps.

Question 9

my back hurts after bike riding is that bad?

Accepted Answer

Conditioning: If you are a rider doing regular exercise/riding, you may feel some fatigue/soreness after prolonged ride, but should not be painful. If this is something you just started, then it is quite common to have lower back pain because of prolonged bending position riding on a bike. It should get better with training. So, take it easy at first. If not better, consult doc. Good luck.
