Which sport is safer for people with protrusion discs? cycling or mountaineering? are they both dangrous? what's your suggestion?

Back pain: Both sports can work on your core which helps to strengthen the spine. If certain maneuvers in climbing or certain bicycles types aggravate the back pain then make adjustments.
